Cabling for TLS-8000 and 88xxx Libraries

Prior to installing a Fibre Channel Option on TLS-8000 or 88xxx libraries the tape
drive assemblies may need to be installed in the library and the drives will need to be
cabled as shown in this section. Refer to the Installation section in the TLS-
5000/6000/8000 Installation and Operation Manual (Qualstar document number

) for details about tape drive assembly preparation, enabling SCSI termination

power and installation.
