1 Unpack the library

Identify the contents of each box. Save the packaging materials for use

in moving or shipping the library in the future.

2. 4U base module &

mounting hardware

1. 8U base module & mounting hardware

4. Robot3. Tape drives

5. Switch for internal network (in libraries

with LTO4 or LTO5 tape drives only)

CAUTION:

Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Keep parts

in their containers until needed. Ensure that you are properly

grounded when touching static-sensitive components.

2 Prepare the rack

WARNING!

Consider the library’s weight and the weight of the other

components in the rack when deciding where to place the library

in the rack. Failure to do so might cause the rack to become

unstable and tip over. Place heavier components like servers

and disk arrays at the bottom of the rack. Place the library and

other lighter components above the heavier components.

1. Lock the rack wheels or insert wheel chocks under the wheels to

prevent the rack from moving during installation.

. Use the template shipped with the library to mark the front and back of the rack with the locations of the mounting hardware. 5. If your library contains LTO4 or LTO5 tape drives or if you plan to add them later, leave an additional 1U of space above the template in which to install the switch. HP recommends that you leave 2U of space above the library for future expansion, if possible. 3. For the top mounting brackets, place a rail on top of each mounting bracket.

2. At the rear of the library, guide the notches on the bottom corners of the 8U base module onto the mounting brackets. Slide the 8U base module completely into the rack. 5. Open the load port door on the 8U base module. Inside the front of the library, press the load port door latch to open the load port door. 6. Attach the 8U base module to the front of the rack with four T-25 panhead screws. 7. Close the load port door on the 8U base module. NOTE: Your library might look different. 3.

2. 3. Lift the 4U base module into position in the rack. The top of the 4U base module has rails on each side that fit into the L-flange of the module above. The right rail is longer than the left rail, and will engage first, making the left side heavier until the module is completely on both rails. Starting with the right side, place the 4U base module on the L-flange of the 8U base module and slide it until it is half way into the rack. 5.

Plug in the OCP cables 7 Plug in the inter-module power cable 1. Remove the two T-10 Torx screws from the bottom-left and top-right corners of the black protective cover that is on the back of the Operator Control Panel (OCP). 1. Remove the two bottom arrays from the back column of arrays on the right wall. (You are removing one 6-slot array from the 8U base module and one 6-slot array from the 4U base module.) To remove an array, press its release lever and lift up on the array. 2.

2. Pull the ribbon cable out of the 8U base module. Plug the ribbon cable into the 4U base module. 3. Make sure the latch on the right side of the robotics unit is fully engaged. If it is not, push the latch to the right. You should not be able to move the robotics unit. Close the door of the robotics unit. 3. Install the cover from the 4U base module onto the two modules. Tighten the two thumbscrews to secure the cover. 4.

1. Attach the brackets to the switch. 11 Install the tape drives NOTE: 2. HP recommends that you install tape drives from top to bottom with no gaps between them. Connect the power cable to the power socket on the back of the switch. At the rear of the library, insert a tape drive into an empty drive bay. Tighten the thumbscrew to attach the tape drive to the drive bay. Repeat for each tape drive. 3.

2. Attach the cable clamps to the right rear rack at the positions 37T, 26T, and 15T. Use these cable clamps to route the tape drive Ethernet cables. 13 Connect the cables CAUTION: To avoid damaging Fibre Channel (FC) cables, do not pinch or sharply bend the cable tighter than a 5-centimeter (2-inch) diameter. Allow a radial bend when attaching an FC cable to a cable clip. 1. Switch for the internal network 2. Library robotics controller 3. e2400-FC 2Gb interface controller 4. To host 5.

• Plug each power supply into a power strip (power cable included). Plug each power supply into a different power strip. You cannot plug the power supplies directly into the wall outlet. • If it’s not already plugged in, plug each power strip into the rack’s power distribution unit (PDU). And plug the PDU into an AC outlet. If you have more than one power distribution unit (PDU), plug each PDU power cable into a different AC power circuit to establish redundancy.

If the Interface Manager card does not have access to an IPv4 DHCP network during initial power up, the Interface Manager must be configured manually. The Interface Manager card will not enable or configure its eth0 or eth1 ports until it knows which type of library type it is installed in. NOTE: If the library is only connected to an IPv6 network, the Interface Manager card and library firmware versions must support IPv6.

The library ships with a null password. Passwords must be set to exactly eight characters consisting of the numbers 0 through 9 and the period character. • Configuration > Library Configuration > Configure Load Ports 3. 4U base module 4.
