Figure 4.  Cabling When FCO3 Controls Library & Drives

6.

Connect the drives to the 

FCO3 card 

SCSI port 1.

a.

Connect a 

SCSI cable

 from the FCO3 card SCSI 

port 1 to the first tape drive.

b.

Do 

one

 of the following:

For the last tape drive in the chain, attach a 

terminator

 on the drive’s other port.

If there are more drives, connect this drive to the 
next one using a 

SCSI cable

.

c.

If this was 

not the last drive

, repeat 

Step b

.

7.

Ensure all SCSI connectors are tight and all SCSI 
buses are properly terminated.

Ethernet Preparation

1.

Connect the FCO3 Ethernet port to a stand-alone PC 
using the included Ethernet 

crossover cable

.

2.

Temporarily set the IP address of the PC to one number 
higher than the IP address that the FCO3 card will use.
For example, if the FCO3 will use 10.20.30.1 on the 
management LAN, set the IP address of the PC to 
10.20.30.2.

3.

Temporarily set the subnet mask of the PC to the 
subnet mask that will be used by the FCO3 card.

4.

Install the QuickNav software on the PC from the 
FCO3 Software and Documentation CD. 
Use either the Windows or Macintosh version of the 
software based on the type of stand-alone PC being 
used. 

CAUTION:  

If the NEO 8000 firmware is less than version 4.03 

or the NEO 2000/NEO 4000 firmware is less than version 5.08, 
it must be upgraded to support FC LTO-3 drives.

1. Power on the library by toggling each power supply 

switch (and circuit breakers on the NEO 8000) to 

ON

.

2.

Press anywhere on the 

GUI touch screen

 to activate 

the display and turn the library ON.
This will also provide power to the FCO3 card.

3.

Wait for the FCO3 card to complete 

Power On Self 

Test 

(POST). 

It should take no more than 3

½

 minutes to complete. 

The FCO3 card is configured and managed through its 
Ethernet interface using either the browser-based GUI or 
a Telnet interface. The GUI interface uses traditional GUI 
actions to select choices while Telnet uses CLI commands 
to configure the FCO3. The 

NEO SERIES FCO3 Card 

User Guide

 at the Overland Technical Support website 

provides details.
