5.3Cabling for TLS-412xxx Libraries

Note that all TLS-412xxx models are shipped from the factory without the SCSI inter- connect cables or terminators installed. Table 5-2represents the preferred cabling for a library with 12 tape drives.

Connectors on Rear of FCO	Connectors on Rear of TLS-412xxx
SCSI Channel 0	Left Medium Changer
	Left Tape Drive 1 (LT1)
	Left Tape Drive 2 (LT2)
SCSI Channel 1	Left Tape Drive 3 (LT3)
	Left Tape Drive 4 (LT4)
SCSI Channel 2	Left Tape Drive 5 (LT5)
	Left Tape Drive 6 (LT6)
SCSI Channel 3	Right Tape Drive 1 (RT1)
	Right Tape Drive 2 (RT2)
SCSI Channel 4	Right Tape Drive 3 (RT3)
	Right Tape Drive 4 (RT4)
SCSI Channel 5	Right Tape Drive 5 (RT5)
	Right Tape Drive 6 (RT6)

Table 5-2 Preferred Fibre Channel Option Cable Connections

The following steps outline the actions necessary to connect the cables from the FCO to the TLS. Please see Figure 5-2and Figure 5-3.

1.Remove power from the TLS: first turn the power switch off and then remove the power cord.

2.Remove power from the FCO: first turn the power switch off and then remove the power cord.

3.Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 0 connector on the FCO to connec- tor 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 the FCO to connec- tor E.

6.Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 2 connector on the FCO to connec- tor G.

7.Attach an LVD SCSI terminator at connectors D, F and H.

8.Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 3 connector on the FCO to connec- tor I on the right side on the TLS.
