Quick Start Guide

Step 1 — Before you begin

1 — Ensure that you have all the required items before you proceed (see Accessories and Additional Items on page 1). 2 — Locate an appropriate area for the unit that has adequate clearance for ventilation, minimal dust and debris, and an

appropriate power source. The unit is designed for installation in a standard 4 post, 19-inch rack. 3 — Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). Discharge static

electricity from your body by touching a known grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis. 4 — The unit must be operated in the horizontal position. Do not place it on its side, and do not place objects on top of it.

Step 2 — Unpacking

1 — Remove foam and accessories:

LVD SCSI cable and terminator* Barcode labels and warranty Ethernet cable Power cables Rack mount kit Product CD

2 — Lift unit only by the 2 sides 3 — Remove shipping label and

key prior to power-up

•LVD SCSI con guration only

Important: Save all original packing materials in

case you need to ship or move the library later.

Step 2a — Rack-mounting (optional)

If you plan to install the library in a rack, see the Rack-mount Instructions (complete prior to Step 3).

WARNING! Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be sure that the library power switch is in the off position and that the power cord is disconnected from the library and the outlet. WARNUNG! Vor der Ausführung von Installations- oder Wartungsarbeiten ist darauf zu achten, daß der Library-Netzschalter auf “Aus” gestellt ist und daß das Anschlußkabel vom Library und der Steckdose entfernt ist. ¡PRECAUCIÓN! Antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento de instalación o de mantenimiento, comprobar que el interruptor de alimentación de la biblioteca está apagado y que el cable de alimentación no está enchufado ni a la biblioteca ni a la toma de corriente.

Step 3 — Connecting the cables

SCSI connections (LVD only):

1 — Connect SCSI cable and Terminator* 2 — Connect Power cord

Fibre Channel connections:

1 — Connect Fibre Channel cable 2 — Connect Power cord

Power switch (Off=0 On=I ) Ethernet port (see Product Manual for addressing)

Important: Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 tape drives require Ultra 160 rated SCSI cabling, and an Ultra 3 or LVD 160 Active SCSI terminator to function

properly on the SCSI bus. An inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues, including bus hangs and Read/Write failures. See the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the Product Manual for additional information.
