Step 11. Connect the Tape Drive to the SCSI or Fibre Channel Interface
To connect the Ultrium Tape Drive to a SCSI or Fibre Channel interface, choose
one of the following procedures.
Connecting the Drive to a SCSI Interface
To connect the Ultrium Tape Drive Model T200 to the SCSI bus:
1. Connect the enclosure’s internal SCSI bus cable to the SCSI connector on the
tape drive (see
1
in Figure 2 on page 10).
2. Run the appropriate SCSI attachment verification procedure on your server (for
instructions, refer to the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and User’s
Guide). If a SCSI error occurs, refer to “Using Sense Data” on page 59.
If you want to power a device on or off while it is connected to the same SCSI bus
as an Ultrium Tape Drive, you can do so if, during the power-on cycle, you quiesce
all devices (including the Ultrium Tape Drive) on the bus.
Connecting the Drive to a Fibre Channel Interface
To connect the Ultrium Tape Drive Model T200F to the Fibre Channel interface:
1. Connect the enclosure’s internal fiber cable to the Fibre Channel connector on
the tape drive (see
3
in Figure 3 on page 11).
Note: Model T200F can be ordered with several lengths of fiber cabling, up to
61 m (200 ft). For ordering information, see Table 13 on page 81.
2. Run the Fibre Channel wrap test at the end of a cable that does not exceed 250
m (820 ft) (see Function Code 6 in Table 7 on page 29). Do not bend the cable
more than a radius of 50.8 mm (2 in.) or the optical fiber may break.
3. Connect the fiber cable to an appropriate attachment (server, switch, or hub).
For information about attaching the fiber cable, refer to the documentation for
your server, switch, or hub.
Step 13. Configure the Tape Drive to the Server, Switch, or Hub
To configure the tape drive to the server, or to configure the Model T200F Fibre
Channel drive to a switch or hub, refer to the server’s documentation.
