Quantum Support to get the firmware.
2 Install EDLM-scanning drives in the library.
3 Connect each EDLM-scanning drive to one of the four initiator ports
in a Fibre Channel I/O blade. If you have more than four EDLM-
scanning drives, you will need to use more than one Fibre Channel
I/O blade.
4 Log on as an administrator.
