Connect the power cords.
At least one power supply is required for each module that contains tape drives.
For each power supply, connect one end of the power cord to the power supply. Then connect the other
end to a nearby grounded AC power source (of the type marked on the product label).
Step 7: Using the Library For the First Time
1
Power on the library.
a. Turn on the rear power switch of each of the power supplies.
b. Press the power switch on the front of the library once.
c. Power up the host system.
2
Verify communication with all devices on the bus.
3
Configure the library.
When you first power on the library, the operator panel displays the Setup Wizard. You must start using
the Setup Wizard on the operator panel. After performing initial configuration, you can continue to use
the Startup Wizard on the operator panel or use the web client. It is recommended that you use the web
client after basic initial configuration because there are many more options available to you on the web
client.
You may skip initial configuration, or exit partway through and come back.
Note
If you do this, the settings you do not configure will be assigned default
settings until you change them. Default settings:
- DCHP enabled
- 6 I/E station slots
- 0 Cleaning cartridge slots
- The number of partitions equals the number of tape drive interface types
the library contains (SCSI, FC, or SAS).
