Table 5-6 Preferred Fibre Channel Option Cable Connections for 12 AIT-5 Tape Drives
The following steps outline the actions necessary to connect the cables from two sepa-
rate Fibre Channel Options to the TLS-412xxx with up to twelve AIT-5 tape drives in-
stalled. Please see Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-7. If six or fewer AIT-5 tape drives are
installed see Section 5.6.
1.
Remove power from the TLS: first turn the power switch off and then remove the
power cord.
2.
Remove power from each FCO: first turn the power switch off and then remove
the power cords.
3.
Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 0 connector on FCO 1 to connector
A on the left side on the TLS.
4.
Connect the SCSI Bridge Cable (very short cable) from connector B to C.
5.
Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 1 connector on FCO 1 to connector
E.
6.
Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 2 connector on FCO 1 to connector
G.
7.
Attach an LVD SCSI terminator at connectors D, F and H.
