Dell ML6000 manual Finishing Cabling the Library

Finishing Cabling the Library

All libraries must use module terminators. Libraries that consist of multiple modules must use module-to-module cables.

CAUTION: The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI terminator. Using a SCSI terminator instead of a module terminator can damage the library. The module terminators are located in a plastic package tied to the back of the

5U Library Control Module.

1Remove the protective plastic caps covering the module connectors on the 5U Library Control Module and 9U Library Expansion Module(s).

2Using the module-to-module cables from the accessory kit, connect each module to the one above it. Connect one end of the cable to the bottom module. Then connect the other end of the cable to the module above it.

3Using the module terminators from the plastic package tied to the back of the 5U Liberary Control Module, terminate the topmost and botommost modules.

4Connect an Ethernet cable to the top Gigabit Ethernet port on the library control blade (LCB) for remote access to the library via the Web client. (Ethernet cable not supplied.)

5At least one power supply is required for each module that contains tape drives. For each power supply, connect one end of the power cord to the power supply. Connect the other end to a nearby grounded AC power source (of the type marked on the product label).
