7.3.5 Connecting a Fibre Channel Cable
1.
Remove the FC port caps if necessary. Attach one end of the FC cable to port A on the tape drive.
2.
Attach the other end of the FC cable to a switch or HBA.
TIP
It is recommended that you leave the FC port at the default settings of
Port
Speed: Automatic
and
Port Type: Auto Detect
. With these settings, the tape
drive should automatically use the appropriate configuration.
7.3.6 Verifying the Installation
1.
Power on the drive from the OCP or RMI, if necessary.
2.
Confirm that the library recognizes the new tape drive by checking the OCP or RMI. The new drive
should appear in the module status overview area on the left side of the screen.
3.
Use the RMI or OCP to verify that the tape drive has the current firmware. Update the firmware if
necessary.

Adding an Expansion Module
WARNING
Product Weight
Each Q40 module weighs more than 44 lbs (20 kg) without drives or
tapes and more than 77 lbs (35 kg) with 3 tape drives and 40 tapes.
Risk of personal injury
Before moving or lifting a module:
•
Observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for
manual material handling.
•
Remove all tapes to reduce the weight and to prevent cartridges from
falling into the robotics path and damaging the library.
•
Remove all tape drives to reduce the weight.
•
Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the module during
installation or removal.
Risk of damage to devices
When placing a module into or removing the module from a rack:
•
Extend the rack’s levelling jacks to the floor.
•
Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests on the levelling jacks.
•
Install stabilizing feet on the rack.
•
Extend only one rack component at a time.
CAUTION
Static Sensitive
Risk of damage to devices
•
A discharge of static electricity damages static-sensitive devices or
micro circuitry.
•
Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary
precautions to prevent damage.
