Identifying Library Module components
Use the packing slip that is included with your module to identify the module components.
The Dell ML3 tape library is shipped with a rack mount kit and all cables (power and interface) when the
unit is ordered.
1. Locate one or more packing slips for your module.
2. Verify that you received each item that is listed on the packing slips.
Note: Order the power cord that matches the electrical requirements of the country or area.
For SAS libraries, you must provide SAS cabling with the correct conguration for your HBA. For Fibre
Channel libraries, you must provide one Fibre Channel cable for each tape drive.

Skip this step if you are installing a Base Module only without an Expansion Module.

Base Module to the Expansion Module that is installed at the top of the library.
