1. Install the upper module communication terminator (
3
in Figure 3-16).
2. Install the lower module communication terminator (
1
in Figure 3-16).
3. Install one end of the customer-supplied Ethernet cable (
2
in Figure 3-16) in
the Library Control Blade Ethernet port, then connect the other end of the cable
to your network.
4. Installation of the SCSI cable(s) and terminator(s) depends upon how many
drives are in your library.
v For maximum drive performance:
v Install a SCSI terminator (
4
in Figure 3-16) in the upper receptacle of each
SCSI drive in your library.
v Connect one end of a SCSI cable to the lower receptacle of each SCSI drive (
6
in Figure 3-16), then connect the other end of the cable to the host.
v If you prefer to daisy-chain your SCSI drives:
a. Install a SCSI terminator in the upper receptacle of the top SCSI drive in
the daisy-chain.
b. Connect one end of a shorter drive-to-drive SCSI cable included in your
shipment to the lower receptacle of the top SCSI drive in the daisy-chain,
then connect the other end of the cable to the upper receptacle of the next
drive in the daisy-chain. Repeat this for every SCSI drive in your library.
c. On the last drive in the daisy-chain, connect one end of the longer
drive-to-host SCSI cable included in your shipment to the lower
receptacle of the last drive in the daisy-chain, then connect the other end
of the cable to the host.
Note:
Maximum performance of the SCSI drives in your library will not be
achieved if the drives are daisy-chained.
