1 Module-to-module cable
2 Library control blade
3 GB Ethernet port
4 Power supply
5 Rear power switch
6 Power cords
7 SAS cables to host
8 Module terminators
9 Ethernet cable to network
1 Install the library in a rack. See Installing the Library in a Rack for instructions. The instructions include procedures for
removing and replacing tape drives.
2 Connect one end of the SAS cable to the tape drive. Connect the other end of the SAS cable to the host.
3 If your library configuration consists of a single module, place module terminators in the module's top and bottom
module terminator connectors.
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.
4 If the library consists of more than one module, connect the modules together as follows:
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.
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.
b If you need to add 9U Library 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 Library Expansion Module.
c Replace the module terminator in the 9U Library Expansion Module in the terminator connection that is furthest
