Step 8. Connect the Internal LDI Cable (optional)
Note: Use this step only if you are installing the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive into a library
control system. The drive uses the Library/Drive Interface (LDI) to
communicate with a tape library.
Connect the enclosure’s internal LDI cable to the LDI connector on the drive (see
5 in Figure 2 on page 14 or 6 in Figure 3 on page 15).
Step 9. Run Drive Diagnostics
__ 1. Replace the cover on the enclosure.
__ 2. Connect the power cord to both the enclosure and the electrical outlet, then
power-on the enclosure.
__ 3. Run one or more of the following tape drive diagnostics. If an error code
appears on the single-character display, go to Table 15 on page 67.
v Function Code 1 - Run Tape Drive Diagnostics (see page 36).
v Function Code 6 - Run Wrap Test (for a SCSI drive, see page 39; for a
Fibre Channel drive, see page 40).
v Function Code 7 - Run LDI Wrap Test (see page 41).
__ 4. Power-off the enclosure, then disconnect the power cord from both the
enclosure and the electrical outlet.
Step 10. Install the Device Drivers
For information about installing device drivers, refer to the documentation for your
enclosure.
Step 11. Connect the External SCSI or Fibre Channel Interface to the
Server
Perform one of the following steps:
v If you are using a SCSI drive (Model T400), connect the enclosure’s external
SCSI cable to the SCSI connector on the server. For instructions, go to “Connect
the External SCSI Interface to the Server” on this page.
v If you are using a Fibre Channel drive (Model T400F), connect the enclosure’s
external Fibre Channel cable to the Fibre Channel connector on the server. For
instructions, go to “Connect the External Fibre Channel Interface to the Server”
on page 29.
Connect the External SCSI Interface to the Server
To connect the enclosure to the SCSI bus:
__ 1. Connect an external SCSI bus cable to both the enclosure and the server
(for the location of the connectors, refer to the documentation for your
enclosure and server).
__ 2. Run the appropriate SCSI attachment verification procedure from your server
(for instructions, refer to the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and
User’s Guide). If a SCSI error occurs, refer to “Using Sense Data” on
page 71.
