SDLT 600 Product Manual Chapter 3: SDLT 600 Tape Drive Specifications

In SE mode, the SCSI bus can support up to 7 devices using cable lengths up to 3 meters. In LVD mode, the SCSI bus can support up to 15 devices using cable lengths up to 25 meters.

For more information about the SCSI interface, refer to the SDLT 600 SCSI Interface Guide (81-81200-01).

Fibre Channel Interface

The Fibre Channel interface runs at speeds up to either 1 Gb/second or 2 Gb/second, depending on the configuration you choose during installation.

Fibre Channel can support up to 126 devices in a loop configuration. Longwave transceivers (with fiber optic cable) support distances up to 10 kilometers; shortwave transceivers (with fiber optic cable) support distances up to 500 meters.

For more information about the Fibre Channel interface, refer to the SDLT 600 Fibre Channel Interface Guide (81-81202-01).
