Hardware Installation
This chapter explains the installation procedure for the expansion cage and the
Interface Manager card. Two installation types are possible:
■ First-Time Installation—The ESL9000 Series library expansion cage is
installed into the library for the first time, and the Interface Manager card and
Fibre Channel (FC) interface controllers are installed together into the
expansion cage.
■ Upgrade Installation—An Interface Manager card is added to a previously
installed expansion cage containing one to four FC interface controllers.
This document presents the full installation procedure for a first-time installation.
If you are performing an upgrade installation, you are informed which steps apply
and which steps can be skipped.
Performing a first-time installation of the Interface Manager card requires several
steps, which should be performed sequentially as follows:
■ Preparing the Installation
■ Installing the Expansion Cage in the ESL Series Library
■ Installing the Fibre Channel Interface Controllers into the Expansion Cage
■ Installing the Interface Manager Card into the Expansion Cage
■ Connecting the Cables
■ Completing the Hardware Installation
Note: If you are also installing one or more HP StorageWorks e2400-160 Fibre
Channel Interface Controllers with the Interface Manager card, use this documentation
instead of the installation instructions that come with the Fibre Channel interface
controllers.
