6/60)
Fibre Channel Installation and Connections
Refer to Figure 2-24 through Figure 2-26, and connect the library as
follows:
1. Ensure that the library and host are inactive, and the library is
disconnected from the host.
2. Ensure that the required host software has been installed.
3. Power off the host, hub, or switch. If the host computer is connected to
a network, check with the system administrator before turning off
power.
4. Install a host bus adapter(s) into the host computer (if needed).
5. Connect the hardware.
a. On each level of the library, connect the SCSI cable from bus 1 on
each Fibre Channel interface card to the left connector on the left
drive module.
b. On each level of the library, connect the SCSI cable from bus 2 on
each Fibre Channel interface card to the left connector on the
right drive module.
c. Connect an additional SCSI cable from the top connector on the
library controller card to the right connector on the left drive
module (drive module 1) to daisy chain the library controller to the
drive.
d. Terminate the bottom connector on the library controller card.
e. Connect the appropriate SCSI terminator to the remaining
connectors on the drive modules.
f. Connect the Fibre Channel cable(s) to the host, hub, or switch.
• For the standard performance Fibre Channel controller, a
GBIC is required. (See Figure 2-23 on page 2-33.)
