and limit cable length. If there are any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed and severely degrade performance.

vFor a Fibre Channel library, connect the host interface cable to the host or to a switch.

vFor a SAS library, connect the drive using a host interface cable to the host HBA. You can connect to either ports if you have a dual port configuration. Unused SAS connectors do not need termination.

4. Plug the network ethernet cable ( in “Connecting the Host Interface Cable” on page 4-12)into the ethernet port on the back panel of the library. If the ethernet connection is directly attached to a server or laptop, a crossover ethernet cable may be required.

Note: It is the customer’s responsibility to supply the crossover ethernet cable if one is required.

Connecting a Power Cord

Attention: This product can ONLY be used with an approved power cord for your specific geographic region. Use of an unapproved power cord may result in:

vnot meeting individual country specific safety requirements;

voverheating with potential personal injury and/or property damage; and

va fracture resulting in the internal contacts being exposed, which potentially could subject the user to a shock hazard.

For every power supply in the library, complete the following steps.

1.Remove the protective label from the power receptacle on your library.

2.Plug one end of the power cord ( 4 in “Connecting the Host Interface Cable” on page 4-12)into each power supply connector on the back panel of the library.

3.Plug the other end of each power cord into the nearest properly grounded power outlet. Use separate power sources for each power supply for redundant power.

Attention: To disconnect all power from the library, remove the power cord from each outlet. The power button removes power from portions of the library and the drives, but the power supplies still have AC power at their inputs.

4.Remove the protective plastic on the exterior surfaces of the library.
