Started Guide (English)
WARNING: Before cabling your library, read the Dell™ PowerVault™ Systems
safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental and Regulatory Information
guide.
WARNING: All libraries must be installed in a rack having a main protective
earthing (grounding) terminal. For detailed installation information, see the Dell™
PowerVault™ ML6000 Tape Library User’s Guide (http://www.dell.com/support).
WARNING: The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
WARNING: The front panel power switch is not the main disconnection device.
Please pull all main plugs out of the appliance inlets in order to switch off the
appliance completely.
WARNING: Before cabling your library, remove all interior packaging. Be sure to
remove the orange robot restraint assembly that secures the robot to the floor of
the library. In addition, remove the yellow strip in the I/E station. Save all
packaging materials and the orange robot restraint assembly in case you need to
move or ship the library in the future. For details, see the unpacking instructions
that came with your library and the Dell™ PowerVault™ ML6000 Tape Library
User’s Guide (http://www.dell.com/support).

Installing Your Library in a Rack
All Dell™ PowerVault™ ML6000 libraries must be installed in a rack. For
instructions, see t e
Dell ™ PowerVault ™ ML6000 Tape Library User’s Guide
(http://www dell com/support)
.
• ML6010 CM is a single 5U Library Control Module.
• ML6020 CM consists of one (1) ML6010 CM 5U Library Control Module
and one (1) ML6000 EM 9U Library Expansion Module (14U total). See
special racking instructions "Installing a 14U Library in a Rack" on page 10.
Installing a 14U Library in a Rack
Refer to the Dell™ PowerVault™ ML6000 Tape Library User’s Guide to
perfor this procedure. Other docu ents about this library do not include
infor ation about the 14U library being pre-asse bled, which greatly si plifies
the installation of the ML6020 14U library in a rack.

The steps below describe odifications to the procedure “Installing the Library
in a Rack” which will ake installing the 14U library in a rack easier. Read this
procedure before unpacking the library because the shipping restraints are left in
place to si plify installation.
NOTE: This procedure assumes that you are installing a new library in a rack.
Do not take apart the 5U and 9U odules for this procedure, and do not remove
the shipping restraints. Leave the 14U library intact and the shipping restraints
in place.
1
Unpack t e library from t e s ipping carton. Leave t e orange robot s ipping
restraint and t e magazine s ipping restraint in place until t is procedure
directs you to remove it.
2 Follow t e instructions for “Preparing for Installation” in t e User’s Guide.
3 Follow t e instructions for “Installing t e Rack-mount S elves” in t e User’s
Guide.
4 For t e procedure “Preparing Modules for Rack Installation”, follow t ese
steps:
a Remove all tape drives, power supplies, and all cords and cables from
t e library modules. T e modules are muc easier to lift into t e rack
wit out t e additional weig t of t e tape drives.
WARNING: Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a 5U Library
Control Module weighs approximately 60 lbs (27.2 kg). A 9U Library Expansion
Module, without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs
(29.5 kg). To avoid serious injury, at least two people are required to safely lift the
modules.
b
Do not remove t e orange s ipping restraint from t e robot.
5 Follow t e instructions for “Installing t e Bottom Module in t e Rack” in t e
User’s Guide wit t e assembled 14U library.
Do not take apart the 5U and
9U modules for this procedure Follow the next step before powering on the
library
6 Ensure t e library is secured properly and t e installation in t e rack is
complete.
Remove all shipping restraints before powering up the library .

Connecting Fibre Channel Cables to a Host or
Switch
Perform t is step if your library contains Fibre C annel tape drives t at you will be
connecting directly to a ost or switc .
Use Fibre C annel cables to connect your ost (or switc ) to t e library. For eac
tape drive:
1 Connect one end of t e Fibre C annel cable to t e Fibre C annel port on t e
tape drive.
2 Connect t e ot er end of t e Fibre C annel cable to your ost or switc .

Connecting Fibre Channel Cables Through a Fibre
Channel I/O Blade
Perform t is step if your library contains Fibre C annel tape drives t at you will be
connecting to your ost or switc t roug a Fibre C annel I/O blade.
1 For eac tape drive: Connect one end of a Fibre C annel cable to t e Fibre
C annel port on t e tape drive. Connect t e ot er end of t e Fibre C annel
cable to an initiator port (lower ports 3 – 6) on t e nearest Fibre C annel I/O
blade.
2 For eac Fibre C annel I/O blade: Connect one end of a Fibre C annel cable
to one of t e target ports (upper ports 1 and 2) on t e Fibre C annel I/O
blade. Connect t e ot er end of t e Fibre C annel cable to your ost or
switc .
Use Et ernet cables to connect t e LCB in t e 5U Library Control Module to eac
9U Library Expansion Module t at contains a Fibre C annel I/O blade. For eac
Fibre C annel I/O blade installed in a 9U Library Expansion Module:
3 Connect one end of t e Et ernet cable to any of t e four middle Et ernet
ports on t e LCB Et ernet ub.
4 Connect t e ot er end of t e cable to t e appropriate port on t e 9U Library
Expansion Module. If t e Fibre C annel I/O blade is installed in t e upper
bay, use t e port labelled "UPPER." If t e Fibre C annel I/O blade is
installed in t e lower bay, use t e port labelled "LOWER."

Finishing Cabling the Library
All libraries must use module terminators. Libraries t at consist of multiple
modules must use module-to-module cables.
CAUTION: The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI terminator. Using a
SCSI terminator instead of a module terminator can damage the library. The
module terminators are located in a plastic package tied to the back of the
5U Library Control Module.
1 Remove t e protective plastic caps covering t e module connectors on t e
5U Library Control Module and 9U Library Expansion Module(s).
2 Using t e module-to-module cables from t e accessory kit, connect eac
module to t e one above it. Connect one end of t e cable to t e bottom
module. T en connect t e ot er end of t e cable to t e module above it.
3 Using t e module terminators from t e plastic package tied to t e back of t e
5U Liberary Control Module, terminate t e topmost and botommost
modules.
4 Connect an Et ernet cable to t e top Gigabit Et ernet port on t e library
control blade (LCB) for remote access to t e library via t e Web client.
(Et ernet cable not supplied.)
5 At least one power supply is required for eac module t at contains tape
drives. For eac power supply, connect one end of t e power cord to t e
power supply. Connect t e ot er end to a nearby grounded AC power source
(of t e type marked on t e product label).
