Installing the Library
Connecting Library Cables (Fibre Channel)
Use this procedure if you are installing a library that includes Fibre Channel tape drives.
Figure 12 StorageLibrary T40 Cabling (Fibre Channel)
1. Install the library in a rack or install the tabletop kit.
2. Connect the fibre cables to the Drive CRU.
a. Attach one end of the fibre cable to the fibre port on each Drive CRU.
b. Attach the other end of the cable to the host, switch or hub.
Note
The fibre cable can be connected from the tape drive to a switch rather than a
host.
3. Connect your ethernet cable to the ethernet port on the rear of the library for remote access to the
library via the remote management interface. Push the cable into it snaps into place. Connect the
other end to a normal 10/100 BaseT Ethernet outlet.
4. Connect a power cord to the outlet on the power supply on the rear of the library.
5. Power on the library by turning on the rear power switch.
6. Power up the host system.
7. Verify communication with all devices on the bus.
8. Configure your library using the commands on the front panel. For configuration information, refer
to
Configuring the Library
.
Note
Tandberg Data recommends that all external SCSI devices, including the
StorageLibrary T40, are powered on before the computer system is re-started
(points 5 and 6 above).
System Power-on
At power-on, for the first few seconds the unit performs a sequence of diagnostic tests called Power-
On Self Tests (POST). POST also includes a loop-back test of the robot cabling.
After the POST sequence completes successfully, the library will respond to SCSI selections. Then
the system starts a series of initialization functions, a process that consists of robot calibration
operation and cartridge inventory of magazines and drive. The barcode labels on the cartridges will be
read when running inventory.
