Page 42: Cabling The Library
This chapter contains the following: • the section called “Cabling the library” • the section called “Powering on the library” NOTE: Many of the figures in this chapter show a library with SCSI drives and e2400-160 interface controllers. Your library may look different and could exclude the e1200–160 robotics controller card, include Ultrium 460-FC and 960 drives, and include e2400-FC 2G and 4G interface controllers. -
Page 43: Attaching Scsi Terminators To The Ultrium 460 Or Sdlt Drive
SCSI drive cables. NOTE: HP recommends that you have only one drive type per cluster, and that you complete any partially-filled clusters before adding a new drive type to your library. Cabling and mapping will be easier and more efficient in this case. While combining SCSI and FC drives in a single cluster is supported, it requires the use of two interface controllers, and will result in unused interface controller ports. -

Drive SCSI cables are labeled ”0”, ”1”, ”2”, and ”3” on the interface controller end to indicate the SCSI port location. The most efficient order for making these connections is as follows: 1.

Tighten the SCSI connector screw on the left and then the right for easier installation due to cable interference. Pull the cable toward you to provide more clearance when tightening the right connector screw. HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Library unpacking and installation guide... -
Page 48: Attaching Scsi Cables
Repeat these steps until all SCSI drives are connected. If you have a partially filled cluster, route the SCSI cables for the drives that are not present in preparation for adding them in the future. 10101 Figure 28 Attaching SCSI cables The e2400-160 interface controller ships with several sets of tie wraps. -
Page 49: Attaching The Tie Wraps
If you have multiple sets of the same color, do not use them within the same library. Colors help identify which SCSI cables are associated with which cluster. HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Library unpacking and installation guide... - Page 50 Take one colored tie wrap and use it to group the cluster’s SCSI cables together on the SCSI port end of the tape drives. Attach it between the cluster cable clamp and the SCSI ports. Take the second tie wrap of the same color and use it to group the cluster’s SCSI cables together nearest to the SCSI port end of the e2400-160 interface controllers.

Page 56: Ultrium Bar Code Labels
NOTE: For information on ordering tape cartridges and bar code labels, see the ordering sheet that shipped with your library. Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the library and application software to identify the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time. Make it a practice to use bar code labels on your tape cartridges. -
Page 57: Sdlt Bar Code Labels
CAUTION: Do not apply labels onto the top, bottom, sides, or back of the cartridge as this may cause damage to the tape drive, or interfere with reliable operation. HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Library unpacking and installation guide... -
