The following steps illustrate a Fibre Channel connection between the
host, hub or switch, and library. Refer to Table 1-5 on page 1-20 and
Figure 1-6 on page 1-21, 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 is connected to a
network, check with the system administrator before turning off
power.
4. Install a host bus adapter into the host computer. Use proper
procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use wrist-
grounding straps and anti-static mats when removing internal
components.
5. Connect the hardware.
a. On each level of the library that has a drive module, connect a
SCSI jumper cable from bus 1 on each Fibre Channel interface to
the left connector on the left drive module.
b. Connect a SCSI jumper cable from bus 2 on each Fibre Channel
interface to the left connector on the right drive module.
c. Connect a SCSI jumper cable from the top connector on the library
controller card to the right connector on the left drive module on
level 1 (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. Ensure that the interface type
matches your library.
f. Connect the Fibre Channel cable(s) to the host, hub, or switch.
— For the standard performance Fibre Channel interface, a GBIC
is required. (See Figure 1-5 on page 1-18.)
