2. Connect the drive end of the cable:
• If you are using a cable with a single connector on each end, attach the
other end into the
connector on the
tape drive.

co
nnector on each tape drive. Coil and secure any unused fanout cables to the rack to
minimize stress on the cables and connectors.

To connect the library to the Ethernet network,
insert the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of
the library. When the plug is in the correct position, a click should be heard.
