each server connection (up to the number of tape drives installed).
An interposer may also be required for attachment to various server adapters. One
or more of the following Fibre Channel or SAS cables should be specified on the
TS3100 or TS3200.
Fibre Channel cables:
A Fibre Channel cable is required to attach a TS3100 or
TS3200 Tape Library with Fibre Channel Ultrium tape drives to host Fibre Channel
adapters, Fibre Channel switches, or other Fibre Channel components. At least one
Fibre Channel cable should be specified on the initial Fibre Channel drive plant order.
The IBM Ultrium 6 or 7 (8 Gbps) Fibre drive comes with an LC duplex connector.
Features for specifying Fibre Channel cables and their respective lengths are as
follows:
• Feature number 6013 - 13 m LC-LC Fibre Channel Cable
• Feature number 6025 - 25 m LC-LC Fibre Channel Cable
• Feature number AGK1 - 10 m OM3 fiber Cable (LC)
• Feature number AGK2 - 25 m OM3 fiber Cable (LC)
SAS cables:
A SAS cable is required to attach a TS3100 or TS3200 to the server host
bus SAS adapter. SAS/Mini-SAS cables provide attachment from HBA with SFF-8470
to drives with SFF-8088. Mini-SAS/Mini-SAS cables provide attachment from HBA
SFF-8088 to drives with SFF-8088. At least one SAS cable should be specified on the
initial plant order.
The following cable options are available for SAS attachment:
• 2.0 m SAS/Mini-SAS 1x Cable (from HBA with SFF-8470 to drive with SFF-8088)
(feature #5402)
• 2.0 m Mini-SAS/Mini-SAS 1x Cable (from HBA with SFF-8088 to drive with
SFF-8088) (feature #5502)
SAS Interposers
A 1x4 interposer with either SAS/Mini-SAS or Mini-SAS/Mini-SAS connectors is
available for connecting up to four Mini-SAS/Mini-SAS 1x cables and their respective
SAS drives to a single host bus adapter port. Mini-SAS/Mini-SAS 1x cable (feature
number 5502) connects the interposer to the drive, and needs to be ordered
separately.
The following interposers are available:
• SAS/Mini-SAS 4x Interposer (from HBA with SFF-8470 to maximum four cables
with SFF-8088) (feature #5400)
