6.1Fibre Channel Option (FCO) Type C Installation Considerations

6.1.1Operating Environment

A TLS with the Fibre Channel Option is designed to operate in an ambient environ- ment from 41oF to 95oF (5oC to 35oC), 20% to 80% relative humidity, and at altitudes from -1000 to +10,000 feet. Moisture must not be allowed to condense inside the sys- tem.

6.1.2Ventilation

When selecting a location for the TLS, be sure to provide sufficient space behind the unit to allow for cable connections. Also, be sure nothing will block the air intake at the inlet air filters or the top air vent slots.

6.2FCO Type C Interconnect Cabling

The Fibre Channel Option for TLS-412xxx libraries is installed when they are shipped from the factory. All other models have the Fibre Channel Option shipped separately from the libraries and require installation in the field. They are attached to the rear of the TLS, taking the place of the rear service panel. All the bridge/router interconnect cables are accessed at the rear of the unit.
