Powering on the System
The HP SureStore Fibre Channel SCSI Bridge 2100 ER is configured for most Fibre Channel installations without intervention. The basic configuration uses one Fibre Bridge connected directly to a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) within a host computer. In expanded configurations (DLT libraries only), the Fibre Bridge may be connected to either a Fibre Channel HBA or a Fibre Channel hub. The Fibre Bridge is set up to support an HP
Use the following sequence when powering on the system:
Powering on each device in the proper sequence is important. When | FibreBridge | Operatingthe | |

devices are turned on out of order, communication failures may result. |
|
| |
1. | Power on the library, which allows the Fibre Bridge to connect |
|
|
| properly to the library when it scans the SCSI bus. |
|
|
2. | Power on the Fibre Bridge. When you do, notice that the power |
|
|
| indicator comes on immediately. The Fault indicator may flash |
|
|
| momentarily. After about 30 seconds, the SCSI activity indicator will |
|
|
| flash once. The Fibre Channel activity indicator will not flash until |
|
|
| other devices have been attached and powered on. |
|
|
3. | Power on the hub, if required. |
|
|
4. | Power on the host. |
|
|
| (If DLT) If there are multiple hosts , power them on sequentially. |
|
|
| Order is important. Wait for for each host to finish booting before |
|
|
| powering on the next host. |
|
|
If any fault indicators are encountered on the Fibre Bridge or other equipment, consult the appropriate user guide.
5. (If DLT) Install backup software.
