Step 6: Connect the Library Cables
1
Connect module cables and module terminators.
All libraries must use module terminators. Libraries that consist of multiple modules must use module-
to-module cables.
CAUTION
a. Using the module-to-module cables from the accessory kit, connect each module to the one
above it. Connect one end of the cable to the bottom module. Then connect the other end of
the cable to the module above it.
b. Using the module terminators from the accessory kit, terminate the topmost and bottommost
modules.
2
Connect the Ethernet cable.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the top Gigabit Ethernet port on the library control blade (LCB) for remote
access to the library via the web client. (Ethernet cable not supplied.)
3
Connect the module Ethernet cables (if required).
Perform this step if your library contains at least one Fibre Channel I/O blade.
Use Ethernet cables to connect the LCB in the library control module to each expansion module that
contains a Fibre Channel I/O blade. For each Fibre Channel I/O blade installed in an expansion module:
a. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to any of the four middle Ethernet ports on the LCB
Ethernet hub. (The uppermost port is for remote access to the library via the web client, and the
bottommost port is for service access.)
b. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate port on the 9U Expansion Module. If the
Fibre Channel I/O blade is installed in the upper bay, use the port labelled "UPPER." If the Fibre
Channel I/O blade is installed in the lower bay, use the port labelled "LOWER."

The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI terminator. Using a SCSI
terminator instead of a module terminator can damage the library.
