Preparing the Host
Follow these general guidelines:
•
Make sure that your backup application supports the host bus adapter communicating with the library.
•
If the host server is connected to a network, check with the system administrator before turning off power.
•
Install a suitably rated HBA.
•
Make sure that LUN scanning is enabled on the HBA.
•
When the host server is powered on, install the software and/or driver(s) that are compatible with the
library. Backup software packages may require additional software or licensing to communicate with the
library robotics.
2.6.2
Power and Signal Cable
To connect the power and signal cable to the tape library:
Procedure
1
Shut down and turn off the selected server. Turn off all attached devices, such as printers
and other devices. Remove the power cables from the server and all attached accessories.
CAUTION
•
Do not force a SAS cable’s mini-SAS connector into the tape drive’s mini-SAS
connector because it might be (mechanically) keyed differently.
•
Fujitsu recommends a maximum SAS cable length of 4 meters from HBA to
one tape drive.
•
Do not use any adapter or converter between HBA and tape drive(s).
CAUTION
Use proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD, wrist-grounding
straps and anti-static mats when handling internal components).
WARNING
Use approved power cords! Not doing so can result in the following:
•
not meeting individual country specific safety requirements;
•
insufficient conductor amp city that could result in overheating with potential
personal injury and/or property damage;
•
an unapproved power cord could fracture resulting in the internal contacts
being exposed, which potentially could subject the user to a shock hazard.
Manufacturer disclaims all liability in the event a non-manufacturer approved
power cord is used.
CAUTION
Failure to remove the power cables from these devices could result in damage to
the library.
