Installing SCSI Cables
Before iinstalling tthe SSCSI ccables, rrefer tto CChapter 33 ((Installation) iin tthe HHP SSurestore IInterface
Manager IInstallation aand SService GGuide ffor IIMPORTANT iinformation oon iinstalling SSCSI ccables.
CAUTION:
Turn off all devices before making SCSI connections. Failure to turn off all power could
result in damage to the devices.
1) Begin with Slot 3, Bus1: Connect a SCSI cable to Bus 1 on the Fibre Channel interface card
located in Slot 3. Locate the two matching labels in the cable label kit.
For the
hp
surestore 20/700 tape library:
For the
hp
surestore 10/180 tape library:
On the label, write the number of the drive you will be connecting this cable to. Attach one label to
each end of the SCSI cable. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to your chosen drive.
2) Proceed with Slot 3,Bus 2; Slot 4, Bus1; Slot 4, Bus 2, until all drives have been properly
connected.
3) Install the appropriate SCSI terminators on all remaining SCSI connectors on the drives. The
Interface Manager Fibre Channel interface cards have internal termination, so no termination is
needed at the interface card end.
4) You may connect the library’s robotics controller to the last spare bus on one of the Fibre Channel
interface cards, or daisy chain it with the first tape drive as long as the library robotics controller
and the tape drive are of the same SCSI bus type (HVD to HVD, LVD to LVD).
NOTE:
Use the HVD to LVD converter (HP A6324A) to connect the library’s robotics controller to
an LVD SCSI bus.
5) Confirm that all cable ends are connected and labeled securely and that each drive is properly
terminated. The Interface Manager, in its default configuration, provides internal termination at the
end of each SCSI bus.
CAUTION:DO NNOT
connect fibre or network cables yet as the addressing modes and IP addresses
need to be checked prior to installation. See the
HP SSurestore IInterface MManager
Installation aand SService GGuide
for more information.
