Method 1: Plug the ethernet cable into your server or PC to access the Web
User Interface directly. This method modifies your server or PC network
settings to match the library default settings. You can also use the library
Operator Panel to change the library network settings to match the server or
PC network settings before you use the Web User Interface to access the
library. If the ethernet connection is directly attached to a server or a PC, a
crossover ethernet cable might be required.
v
Method 2: Plug the ethernet cable into an ethernet switch or router to access
the Web User Interface on a LAN (local area network). The library network
settings must be entered with the Operator Panel before the Web User
Interface is used to access the library.
Connecting the power cord
Important:
This product can ONLY be used with an approved power cord for your
specific geographic region. Use of an unapproved power cord might result in
v
Not meeting individual country-specific safety requirements
v
Overheating with potential personal injury or property damage
v
A fracture that results in internal contacts that are exposed, which might subject
the user to a shock hazard
To connect a power cord:
1.
Plug one end of the power cord or rack PDU power cord into the power
connector ( 3 in Figure 3-10 on page 3-8) on the rear panel of the library.
Note:
On rack mount installations, run the rack PDU power cord through the
hook-and-loop fastener strap on the right rear bracket, and tighten the
strap. The rack PDU power cord is a special power cord that plugs into a
rack power strip.
2.
Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest properly grounded
power outlet. On rack mount installations, plug the other end of the rack PDU
power cord into the nearest rack PDU.
3.
Power ON the library by toggling the power switch on the power supply to the
ON (|) position.
4.
Wait for the library to initialize.
During initialization, the library completes a Power ON Self Test (POST) to
ensure that the library hardware is functional. The library also tests
communications with the tape drive over the internal bus.
Note:
If the Operator Panel does not initialize, check all cable connections, and
ensure that the cartridge magazine is closed and in the locked position.
Ensure that the power supply switch is in the ON position. If the Operator
Panel still does not initialize, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” on page 6-1.
