6.4Cabling for TLS-5/6/8000 and 58/68/88xxx Libraries

Prior to installing a Fibre Channel Option on TLS-5000, 58xxx, 6000, 68xxx, 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 sec- tion in the TLS-5000/6000/8000 Installation and Operation Manual (Qualstar docu- ment number 501450) for details about tape drive assembly preparation, enabling SCSI termination power and installation.

Note that all TLS models are shipped from the factory without the SCSI interconnect cables or terminators installed.

The following figures and tables represent the preferred cabling for a library with two to eight tape drives.
