Also remove the cover plate from each slot required for the installation. If desired, save the cover plate(s) for future use. Auxiliary electronics module SCSI adapter Captive screws Slot for the first FC420 bridge Primary electronics module Handle Slots for additional FC420 bridges Mounting screws (6 total; 3 per side M-2500 Library Back Panel If you are replacing an FC420 bridge, note the location of all cable connections, and then remove all cables from the defective FC420. Then, remove and set aside the hold-down clamp. Finally, remove the screws that secure the FC420 to the card cage and lift the FC420 out of the library expansion slot. Save the hold-down clamp for reinstallation. Insert the FC420 bridge(s) into the expansion slot(s) prepared in step 2d. Press down gently on the card edge until each card is securely seated. Repeat step 2e until all FC420 bridges have been installed. g. Secure each FC420 bridge to the electronics module frame using the screws provided. To secure the primary electronics module, reattach the hold-down clamp and then slide the module back into the library, securing it by tightening the captive screws. To secure the auxiliary electronics module, insert the module into the library and secure it to the back panel using the six screws removed in step 2c. STEP 3: CABLING THE FC420 BRIDGE(S) Each FC420 Bridge has 2 SCSI ports and 1 Fibre Channel port. Follow these guidelines to establish SCSI and Fibre cabling: -- The FC420 bridge can accommodate up to four DLT8000 tape drives per SCSI port, up to two SDLT or LTO tapes drives per port when the bridge is set for 2 GB data transfers, and only one SDLT or LTO tape drive per port when the bridge is set for 1 GB data transfers. To maximize data throughput, reduce the number of tape drives per FC420 SCSI port. -- The open connector on each drive must be terminated. -- Because of the physical characteristics of the SCSI cable connectors, attach a SCSI cable from the upper SCSI port on the SCSI controller in the primary electronics module to a SCSI connector on drive 1 first, and then attach a SCSI cable from SCSI port 0 on the FC420 Bridge (the left VHDCI connector) to the lower SCSI port on the library SCSI controller. -- To ensure access to the library robot, all Fibre Channel cables from the library should connect to a switch or similar device serving the storage area network (SAN). For complete cabling instructions, refer to the Tandberg Data FC420 Bridge Option User's Guide (PN T6423053). STEP 4: CONFIGURE FC420 BRIDGE FIRMWARE A command-line interface (CLI) is available to assist with FC420 Bridge configuration and maintenance as well as system diagnostics. Specifically, the CLI can be used to do the following: -- Configure the Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and SCSI ports -- Create device maps -- Obtain FC420 Bridge status information -- Log FC420 Bridge events -- Report SCSI and Fibre Channel device information For complete configuration instructions, refer to the Tandberg Data FC420 Bridge Option User's Guide (PN T6423053). STEP 5: RETURN THE DEFECTIVE BRIDGE If you replaced an FC420 Bridge, the defective bridge must be returned to Tandberg Data within three business days of receiving the new FC420 Bridge. NOTE: If this is a first-time installation, this step is not necessary and may be skipped.
