Setting Up the Fibre Bridge

Installing Cables

Fibre Bridge Connection, Expanded Configuration Example (DLT Libraries Only)

 

1.

Properly shut down all peripheral devices that will be connected to

 

 

the Fibre Bridge, including the hub(s). Check with the system

 

 

administrator before turning off power to either hubs or libraries.

 

 

CAUTION

Failure to turn off all power could result in damage to the devices.

 

2.

Connect a SCSI cable from bus 1 on the Fibre Bridge to bus 1 on the

 

 

 

library one. For a two-drive library, connect a SCSI cable from bus 2

 

 

on the Fibre Bridge to bus 2 on the library.

 

3.

Connect the optical cable from the Fibre Bridge to the hub.

 

4.

Connect an optical cable from the hub to each host system.

 

 

If you have a 6-8 host system, you will need an additional hub. (See

 

 

Figure 2-3and Figure 2-4for examples of expanded configurations.)

 

5.

Connect the power cord from Fibre Bridge one to an grounded outlet.

 

6.

Confirm that all cable ends are connected securely and both ends of

 

 

each SCSI bus are properly terminated, as shown in Figure 2-4or

 

 

Figure 2-5 on page 2-10.
