vAlways install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
vTo avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting
from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
vRack mounted devices are not to be used as ashelf or work space. Do not place any object
on top of rack mounted devices.
vEach rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power
cords in the rack cabinet before servicing any device in the rack cabinet.
vConnect all devices installed in arack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug apower cord from adevice installed in one rack cabinet into apower
device installed in adifferent rack cabinet.
vAn electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal
parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the
customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical
shock.
CAUTION:
vDo not install aunit in arack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all your rack mounted devices.
vDo not install aunit in arack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or educed on any side, front, or back of aunit used for air flow through the unit.
vConsideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to arack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total pwer requirement of the supply circuit.
v(For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets
are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at atime. The rack may
become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at atime.
v(For fixed drawers) This drawer is afixed drawer and should not be moved for servicing unless
specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the
rack may cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during
relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate apopulated rack cabinet within
aroom or building:
vReduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack
cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you
received it. If this configuration is not known, you must do the following:
–Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
–Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
–Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below
the 32U level.
v
If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of asuite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet
from the suite.
vInspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
vVerify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to
the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of aloaded rack cabinet.
vVerify that all door openings are at least 760 x230 mm (30 x80 in.).
vEnsure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
vEnsure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
vEnsure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement.
vDo not use aramp inclined at more than ten degrees.
vOnce the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:
–Lower the four leveling pads.
–Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
–If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the
lowest position to the highest position.

Attaching the Library to aServer
The 2U library and the 4U library can be attached to servers using the following interfaces:
vSCSI
vFibre Channel
Connecting the Host Interface Cable
To connect the host interface cables to the library:
1. It is recommended that you shut down and turn OFF the associated server. Turn OFF all attached
devices. Remove the power cables from the server and all attached accessories.
Important: Failure to remove the power cords from these devices before connecting the host interface
cable could result in damage to the library.
2. For aSCSI library, attach one end of the host interface cable to one of the connectors on the back
panel of the library (see 1 in Figure 1-12 on page 1-10). For aFibre Channel library, attach one end
of the host interface cable to the connector on the back panel of the library (see 5 in Figure 1-13 on
page 1-10).

Figure 1-11. Securing the 4U library to the rack
Installation 1-9

3. Attach the other end of the host interface cable as follows:
vFor aSCSI library, connect the host interface cable to the connector on the SCSI host bus adapter
or to the connector on the previous device on the SCSI bus. Attach the terminator (3 in
Figure 1-12) to the remaining SCSI connector on the back panel of the library, if the library is the
last or only device on the SCSI bus. Otherwise, attach one end of aSCSI cable to the remaining
port and the other end to the next device on the SCSI bus. Make sure that the last device on the
SCSI bus is properly terminated.
Note: The Ultrium 3tape drive is an Ultra160 or Ultra320 SCSI LVD device. Only cables and
terminators specified for Ultra160 or Ultra320 use or labeled as Multi Mode should be used.
Note: The host bus adapter should be LVD SCSI. Asingle-ended (SE) SCSI host bus adapter will
work, but will severely degrade performance, and limit cable length. If there are any SE
devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed and
severely degrade performance.
vFor aFibre Channel library, connect the host interface cable to the host or to aswitch. If an
SC-to-LC interposer is required, refer to Figure 1-14 on page 1-11.
