Dell PowerVault ML6000 Maintenance Guide

PowerVault ML6000 Maintenance Guide 33
1 If your library is 14U or taller, install it in a rack.
See Using
the Rack-mount Kit to Install a Library in a Rack on page 108 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-to-module cables.
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.
If your library configuration consists of a single module, place module terminators in the
module’s top and bottom module terminator connectors.
b. If you need to add 9U Expansion Modules to the 5U Library Control Module, remove the module
terminator from the 5U Library Control Module terminator connection that is closest to the 9U
Expansion Module.
c. Replace the module terminator in the 9U Expansion Module terminator connection furthest from
the 5U Library Control Module.
d. Connect the module-to-module cable from the 5U Library Control Module to the 9U Expansion
Module.
4 Connect your Ethernet cable to the Gigabit (GB) Ethernet port on the library control blade (LCB) for
remote access to the library via the Web client.
5 Connect a power cord to the outlet on the power supply on the rear of the library.
There should always be a power cord connected to the power supply on the 5U Library Control Module.
If redundant power supplies are used, connect a power cord to each of the additional power supply
outlets.
6 Power on the library.
a. Turn on the rear power switch of each of the power supplies.
b. Turn on the front power switch.
c. Power up the host system.
7 Verify communication with all devices on the bus.
Configure the library using the commands on the operator panel.
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.
For configuration information, see “Configuring Your Library” in the User’s Guide.
