Final Hardware Actions
The SL150 hardware is now installed in the rack.
If additional tape drives and power supplies were ordered for this library, install them
now (see Chapter 6, "Adding Power Supplies and Tape Drives").
To complete the installation, you must reset the physical robot lock and connect cables.
Perform Basic Cabling
Perform the following tasks to connect cables to the library components.
There are nine USB connectors in the Module Output section of the base module. You
connect a specific connector to the controller card port of the associated expansion
module.
For a library capacity of 31 to 300 cartridges, install cables as follows:
■ Module Output connector 2 to the input port of the Module 2 controller
■ Module Output connector 3 to the input port of the Module 3 controller
■ Module Output connector 4 to the input port of the Module 4 controller
■ Module Output connector 5 to the input port of the Module 5 controller
■ Module Output connector 6 to the input port of the Module 6 controller
■ Module Output connector 7 to the input port of the Module 7 controller
■ Module Output connector 8 to the input port of the Module 8 controller
■ Module Output connector 9 to the input port of the Module 9 controller
■ Module Output connector 10 to the input port of the Module 10 controller
For a library capacity of 301 to 450 cartridges, install cables as listed:
■ Module 6 controller output port to the input port of the Module 11 controller
■ Module 7 controller output port to the input port of the Module 12 controller
■ Module 8 controller output port to the input port of the Module 13 controller
■ Module 9 controller output port to the input port of the Module 14 controller
■ Module 10 controller output port to the input port of the Module 15 controller
Task 1 Connect the Expansion Module Controller to the Base Module
1. Locate the expansion interconnect cable and remove it from the plastic bag.
Note: Do not connect the cable to the output port of the two module
expansion controller card.
Note: Do not connect the cable to the output port of the expansion
controller card in Module 11 through Module 15.
