Dell PowerVault ML6000 Getting Started Guide

Finishing Cabling the Library

All libraries must use module terminators. Libraries that consist of multiple 

modules must use module-to-module cables.

CAUTION: 

The module terminator is not the same as a SCSI terminator. Using a 

SCSI terminator instead of a module terminator can damage the library. The 

module terminators are located in a plastic package tied to the back of the 

5U Library Control Module.

1

Remove the protective plastic caps covering the module connectors on the 

5U Library Control Module and 9U Library Expansion Module(s).

2

Using the module-to-module cables from the accessory kit, connect each 

module to the one above it. Connect one end of the cable to the bottom 

module. Then connect the other end of the cable to the module above it. 

3

Using the module terminators from the plastic package tied to the back of 

the 5U Liberary Control Module, terminate the topmost and botommost 

modules.

4

Connect an Ethernet cable to the top Gigabit Ethernet port on the library 

control blade (LCB) for remote access to the library via the Web client. 

(Ethernet cable not supplied.)

5

At least one power supply is required for each module that contains tape 

drives. For each power supply, connect one end of the power cord to the 

power supply. Connect the other end to a nearby grounded AC power 

source (of the type marked on the product label).
