Chapter 12 Installing, Removing, and Replacing

Cabling the Library

Dell PowerVault ML6000 User’s Guide 233

3 Remove and discard the necessary number of the black rubber

protective covers from the ports on the FC I/O blades.

4 Carefully unwrap the FC cables and remove the two white plastic

protective caps from each end of the cable.

5 Connect the FC cable to one of the following initiator ports on the FC

I/O blade: 3, 4, 5, or 6. When you choose the port, take into account

the location of any other tape drives that you plan to connect to the

same FC I/O blade. See Cable Management Guidelines on page 237

for best-practice guidelines for cabling a library.

6 Insert the other end of the FC cable into the FC port on the FC tape

drive.

7 Repeat the above steps for each FC drive you want to connect to the

FC I/O blade. Do not connect any of these FC cables to ports 1 or 2 on

the FC I/O blade.

8 Connect the host(s) to ports 1 and/or 2 on the FC I/O blade.

9 Install the module terminators.

a Using the module terminators, terminate the top and bottom

modules in the library stack. Install one module terminator in the

top terminator connector on the topmost module and one in the

bottom terminator connector on the bottommost module.

If your library configuration consists of a single module, place

module terminators in the module’s top and bottom module

terminator connectors.

b If you need to add 9U Library Expansion Modules to the 5U

Library Control Module, remove the module terminator from the

5U Library Control Module terminator connection that is closest

to the 9U Library Expansion Module.

Caution: FC cables will be damaged if they are bent at more than a

four-inch arc.

Caution: The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI

terminator. Using a SCSI terminator instead of a

module terminator will damage the library.
