Aligning and Connecting Modules
Cable Attachment
Skip this section if you are only installing a Base Module
Loosen the screws on each module. Go to the back of the
rack and move the alignment lever on the upper module to
the locked position.
Verify that the lowest module in the rack has its alignment
mechanism in the
unlocked
position.
Tighten all of the loosened screws.
Go to the back of the rack and connect each pair of modules
using the expansion interconnect cable.
All cabling and power connections are located on the Q40’s
rear panel.
Attach one end of the
host interface cable
to the library:
For a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) tape drive, attach one
end of the SAS cable
to Port A of the drive.
If you are using a SAS fanout cable, attach one mini-SAS
connector into the connector on each tape drive. Any
unused ends of the SAS fanout cable should be secured
to the rack to minimize stress on the connectors and cable.
For a Fibre Channel (FC) tape drive, attach one end of the
FC cable to the FC port of the drive.
Plug a power cord into the power connector on the
power supply
. If the unit has redundant power
supplies, make sure to connect 2 power cords from 2
different AC circuits to each power supply.
For Remote access, connect an ethernet cable to the
Bottom ethernet port on the library
.
