IBM T400F manual Connect the Internal LDI Cable optional, Run Drive Diagnostics

Step 8. Connect the Internal LDI Cable (optional)

Note: Use this step only if you are installing the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive into a library control system. The drive uses the Library/Drive Interface (LDI) to communicate with a tape library.

Connect the enclosure’s internal LDI cable to the LDI connector on the drive (see

in Figure 2 on page 14 or in Figure 3 on page 15).

Step 9. Run Drive Diagnostics

__ 1. Replace the cover on the enclosure.

__ 2. Connect the power cord to both the enclosure and the electrical outlet, then power-on the enclosure.

__ 3. Run one or more of the following tape drive diagnostics. If an error code appears on the single-character display, go to Table 15 on page 67.

vFunction Code 1 - Run Tape Drive Diagnostics (see page 36).

vFunction Code 6 - Run Wrap Test (for a SCSI drive, see page 39; for a Fibre Channel drive, see page 40).

vFunction Code 7 - Run LDI Wrap Test (see page 41).

__ 4. Power-off the enclosure, then disconnect the power cord from both the enclosure and the electrical outlet.

Step 10. Install the Device Drivers

For information about installing device drivers, refer to the documentation for your enclosure.

Step 11. Connect the External SCSI or Fibre Channel Interface to the Server

Perform one of the following steps:

vIf you are using a SCSI drive (Model T400), connect the enclosure’s external SCSI cable to the SCSI connector on the server. For instructions, go to “Connect the External SCSI Interface to the Server” on this page.

vIf you are using a Fibre Channel drive (Model T400F), connect the enclosure’s external Fibre Channel cable to the Fibre Channel connector on the server. For instructions, go to “Connect the External Fibre Channel Interface to the Server” on page 29.

Connect the External SCSI Interface to the Server

To connect the enclosure to the SCSI bus:

__ 1. Connect an external SCSI bus cable to both the enclosure and the server (for the location of the connectors, refer to the documentation for your enclosure and server).

__ 2. Run the appropriate SCSI attachment verification procedure from your server (for instructions, refer to the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and User’s Guide). If a SCSI error occurs, refer to “Using Sense Data” on

page 71.
