Installing a New Interface Card Using the Web Administrator
Note An administrator’s password is required before any changes can
be submitted.
1. Using the cable label kit that came with the Interface Manager, choose the
appropriate labels (designating slot, bus, and drive number) and attach
one label to each end of the SCSI cable.
2. BEFORE installing the interface card into the Interface Manager, plug a
SCSI cable into the new FC interface card. DO NOT install the interface
card at this time.
3. Turn off the drives that will be connected to the new interface card.
4. Plug the SCSI cable into the appropriate drive.
5. Power on the drive(s) in the library and make sure they are correctly
configured with SCSI addresses.
6. Insert the new FC interface card into the first available slot going from left
to right. Gently push the card into the slot by placing pressure on the top
AND bottom of the card until it is flush with the chassis. (Pushing the card
in from the top OR bottom alone may damage the card or Interface
Manager (see Figure 7 on page 47).
7. Access the Web Administrator as described in Making Changes via the
Web Interface on page 56.
8. Select the [Operations] tab.
9. Select
the [Interface Card Replacement] button.
If the slot into which you installed the interface card is described as Empty,
then you will need to wait until the interface cards boots up and reports its
status to the RMC. The upper right LED will turn green on the interface
card long before the interface card is ready to communicate with the
RMC. It can take from 2 to 7 minutes before the interface card is ready to
report its status back to the RMC.
10. To update the image of the Interface Manager shown, select the [Interface
Card Replacement] button on this page. The image will change to show
the interface card’s presence when the interface card is available to be
configured.
