Chapter 12 Installing, Removing, and Replacing
Cabling the Library
Scalar i500 User’s Guide 310
1 If your library is larger than 14U, install it in a rack.
See Installing the Library in a Rack
on page 423 for instructions. The
instructions include procedures for removing and replacing tape
drives.
2 Connect the fibre cables to the tape drives.
a Attach one end of the fibre cable to the fibre port on each tape
drive.
b Attach the other end of the cable to the host or switch.
3 Connect the module terminators.
Warning: All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack
having a main protective earthing (grounding) terminal,
and power must be supplied via an industrial plug and
socket-outlet and/or an appliance coupler complying with
IEC 60309 (or an equivalent national standard) and having
a protective earth (ground) conductor with a cross
sectional area of at least 1.5 mm
2
(14 AWG).
To ensure proper airflow and access space, Allow 60 cm
(24 inches) in the front and back of the library.
Note: Pay attention to where the operator panel is positioned in the
rack for optimum usability.
Note: The fibre cable can be connected from the tape drive to a
switch rather than a host.
Caution: The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI
terminator. Using a SCSI terminator instead of a
module terminator will damage the library.
