Library Installation
Library Installation
The following steps illustrate a Fibre Channel connection between the
host, hub or switch, and library.
1. Ensure that the library and host are inactive, and the library is
disconnected from the host.
2. Ensure that the required host software has been installed.
3. Power off the host. If the host computer is connected to a network,
contact the system administrator.
4. Install a host bus adapter into the host computer. Use proper
procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use
wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when removing internal
components.
5. Connect the hardware.
a. On each level of the library that has a drive module, connect a
SCSI jumper cable from bus 1 on each Fibre Channel interface
card to the left connector on the left drive module.
b. Connect a SCSI jumper cable from bus 2 on each Fibre Channel
interface card to the left connector on the right drive module.
c. Connect a SCSI jumper cable from the top connector on the library
controller card to the right connector on the left drive module on
level 1 to daisy-chain the library controller to the drive.
d. Terminate the bottom connector on the library controller card.
e. Connect the appropriate SCSI terminator to the remaining
connectors on the drive modules.
f. Connect Fibre Channel cable(s) to the host, hub, or switch. (See
Table 2-6 on page 2-45.)
• For the standard performance Fibre Channel controller, a
GBIC is required. (See Figure 2-28 on page 2-42.)
