Connecting the Fibre Channel Cables

Figure 2-1Spectra 12000 F-QIP in library.

After you have placed the library carefully and prepared it for operation, you are ready to connect the Spectra 12000 library to the SAN.

There are two Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) ports per F-QIP on the rear panel to connect the library to the host system. The GBIC ports are labeled Fibre Chnl A and Fibre Chnl B.

The Spectra 12000 library has one of two different kinds of GBICs, either optical with an SC connector or copper wire with an HSSDC serial connector as specified when ordered. The different GBIC types and corresponding cables and connectors are shown below. Contact your Spectra Logic representative for information about converting to a different GBIC type.
