accessories available before installing the library:

• SCSI, SAS, or Fibre Channel HBAs in the host
•2 tape drives per SCSI bus
• Power source (see appendix A on page 177 for power requirements)
• Tape cartridges (LTO and/or SDLT)
After the Quantum Scalar 50 is in it’s final location, the following steps
are required to complete the installation:
• Installing the Quantum Scalar 50
• Cabling the Quantum Scalar 50 Series
• Loading Tape Cartridges
• Initial Configuration
Installing the Quantum
Scalar 50 1
The Scalar 50 library modules fit into a standard 19-inch wide rack. Refer
to
figure 8 for rack space requirements. Complete mounting information
is provided in the Quantum Scalar 50 Series Quick Start (PN 81-81767).
Note: Quantum ships sufficient SCSI cables and terminators
with the libraries to set up two-drives per SCSI bus. One
tape drive per SCSI bus may be necessary for optimum
performance. Refer to your tape drive documentation.
