1
If your library is larger than 14U, install it in a rack.
See
Installing the Library in a Rack on page 333 for instructions. The
instructions include procedures for removing and replacing tape
drives.
2
Connect the fibre cables to the tape drives.
a
Attach one end of the fibre cable to the fibre port on each tape
drive.
b
Attach the other end of the cable to the host or switch.
3
Connect the module terminators.
a
Using the module terminators, terminate the top and bottom
modules in the library stack. Install one module terminator in the
top terminator connector on the topmost module and one in the
bottom terminator connector on the bottommost module.
Warning:
All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack
having a main protective earthing (grounding) terminal,
and power must be supplied via an industrial plug and
socket-outlet and/or an appliance coupler complying with
IEC 60309 (or an equivalent national standard) and having
a protective earth (ground) conductor with a cross
sectional area of at least 1.5 mm 2 (14 AWG).
To ensure proper airflow and access space, Allow 60 cm
(24 inches) in the front and back of the library.
Note: Pay attention to where the operator panel is positioned in the
rack for optimum usability.
Note: The fibre cable can be connected from the tape drive to a
switch rather than a host.
Caution:
The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI
terminator. Using a SCSI terminator instead of a
module terminator will damage the library.
