from the 5U Library Control Module.
d Connect the module-to-module cable from the 5U Library Control Module to the 9U Library Expansion Module.
5 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.
6 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.
7 Plug the power cord into a nearby AC power source.
8 Power on the library.
a Turn on the rear power switch of each of the power supplies.
b Turn on the front power button.
c Power up the host system.
9 Verify communication with all devices on the bus.
10 Configure the library using the commands on the operator panel. See configuration information in Configuring Your
Library.
Cable Management Guidelines
As the library expands to support larger configurations, it is important to restrain and organize cables and power cords on the
rear of the library. Doing so ensures that the rear of the library remains accessible and reduces the possibility that cables
become damaged.
Use this section to find cable management guidelines and best practices for power cords and Ethernet cables. Use the
equipment specified in the
Cable Management Kit section below. For recommended cabling of tape drives, see Recommended
Library Cabling for FC I/O Blades.
Cable Management Kit
If you purchase a Fibre Channel I/O blade, you will receive a cable management kit with all the equipment necessary to
perform these procedures. You can also order the cable management kit from Dell (see
Contacting Dell for contact
information). The color of the straps matches the color of the cords they are designed to secure.
