Network connections
The TS4500 tape library provides support for an independent customer network.
The Library Control Card (LCC) provides the Ethernet port A for the customer
network. If a second, independent, customer network is required, Ethernet port A
from an LCC on a D frame must be used. These connections allow remote viewing
and management of the library. The customer network is also connected directly to
the Tiny PC for remote support (Call Home) purposes.
Customer network Ethernet cables can be routed to the customer ports on the LCC
and to the Tiny PC either up through the access hole in the bottom of the frame or
through the access panel in the top of the frame. See Figure 19 on page 83.
If a top rack is going to be installed, the Ethernet cables are routed though the
access panel in the top of the frame and then through the top rack. The Ethernet
cables can also route through the access hole in the bottom of the frame. It is the
customer's responsibility to provide the proper length Ethernet cable for this
connectivity.
