Step 1: Prepare for Installation 1 Make sure your library has firmware version 3. 00 or later. For a complete list of system requirements, refer to the MC300 Prism Management Card User's Guide (PN 6311631). [. . . ] 12 Reattach the hold-down clamp to secure the MC300 PMC in the slot. 13 Slide the electronics module back into the library chassis until the high-density connector on the motherboard seats into the distribution board connector. 14 Using a flat blade screwdriver, tighten the two thumbscrews to secure the electronics module to the library chassis. 2 MC300 Prism Management Card Quick Reference Guide Step 3: Attach the Interconnect Cables Once you have installed the MC300 PMC, attach the interconnect cable from the diagnostic serial port on the MC300 PMC to the library serial port (see figure 3). Note: The connectors are different sizes; the cable can only be connected in the proper orientation. Library serial port Mounting screw Ethernet 0 (ETH 0) Ethernet 1 (ETH 1) Command serial port (RS-232) Diagnostic serial port (RS-232) If you are using a FC420 and Fibre Channel Management is LEDs desired, you must install a dedicated Ethernet connection between Mounting screw the MC300 and the FC420, see the MC300 Prism Management Card User's Guide (PN 6311631). Quantum does not provide an Figure 3 MC300 PMC Ports and Indicators Ethernet hub/switch or the cables. Step 4: Establish an MC300 PMC-to-Host Connection for Library Management 1 Connect an Ethernet cable from the ETH 0 port (see figure 3) on the MC300 PMC to one of the following: · · 2 3 A TCP/IP network segment with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A non-DHCP computer directly connected to the MC300 PMC using a hub or crossover cable. Make sure the host computer is turned on. Reconnect the library power cable and turn on the library. The MC300 PMC broadcasts a DHCP request. If you are using a DHCP server, the server assigns an IP address to the MC300 PMC. Note: If the DHCP server does not assign an IP address to the MC300 PMC within 30 seconds of the DHCP request, the request times out and the MC300 PMC is assigned the default static IP address of 192. 168. 1. 1. If this occurs, you can change the IP address of the MC300 PMC (see steps 4a through 4e below), or you can configure the host computer to be compatible with the default static IP address of the MC300 PMC (see the Note on page 4). 4 Get the IP address assigned to the MC300 PMC: · If the host computer is on the same network as a DHCP server, go to the DHCP Manager window on the DHCP server and find the IP address assigned to the MC300. You can also obtain this information from the library graphical user interface (GUI) by selecting Main > QuickView > Library > Network. If the host computer is not on a DHCP network, configure the MC300 PMC with network information compatible with the host computer as follows: a b c On the library GUI, select Main > Menu > Config. When the Configuration screen appears, scroll down until IP Address is highlighted, then press Select. This causes the first portion of the IP address to be highlighted. Use the Up and Down buttons to increase or decrease the value of the selected portion of the IP address. Then, press Select to highlight the next portion of the IP address. Continue using the Up, Down, and Select buttons to modify the rest of the IP address. Press Select after modifying the last portion of the IP address to save the new IP address. Caution: Be sure to select an available IP address in the same class as the host computer's network. · 3 MC300 Prism Management Card Quick Reference Guide d e Using the same procedure, select and modify the Subnet Mask and Gateway parameters as appropriate. [. . . ] Compare the Prism Base Features version number with the latest version of the MC300 PMC image found on the web site. If a newer version of the software image file exists on the web site, update the version on the MC300 PMC by downloading the new image file to the host computer and installing it as explained in the MC300 Prism Management Card User's Guide (PN 6311631). Step 7: Configure the MC300 PMC Once the MC300 PMC is installed and updated (if necessary), configure the MC300 PMC following the instructions in the MC300 Prism Management Card User's Guide (PN 6311631).
