2.12.3
Connecting
a
SAS
cable
NOTE
Use
only
cables specified
for
your
LTO
SAS tape
drive.
Each
SAS
tape
drive
has
a
mini
‐
SAS
connector.
Mini
‐
SAS
connectors
are
keyed.
Do
not
force
a
SAS
cable’s
mini
‐
SAS
connector
into
the
tape
drive
mini
‐
SAS
connector
because
it
might
be
keyed
differently.
SAS
signal
rates
require
clean
connections
and
a
minimum
number
of
connections
between
the
HBA
and
the
library.
Do
not
use
adapters
or
converters
between
the
HBA
and
the
library.
A
maximum
SAS
cable
length
of
six
meters
is
recommended.
To
connect
the
SAS
cable
to
the
tape
drive:
1.
Plug the HBA end of the SAS cable into the connector on the HBA.
If you have a SAS fan‐out cable, the end of the cable with only one connector, should be plugged
into the connector on the HBA.
If you are using a cable with a single connector on each end, plug the other end into the
connector on the tape drive.
If you are using a SAS fan‐out cable, plug one mini‐SAS connector into the connector on each
tape drive. The unused ends of the SAS fan‐out cable are single channel and not suitable for use
with disk arrays. Use the other ends to connect tape drives, or coil and secure them to the rack
to minimize stress on the connectors.
2.12.4
Connecting
an
Ethernet
cable
and
a
USB
device
To
connect
the
Ethernet
cable
to
the
library:
The connection to the Ethernet network is via an industry standard RJ45 copper interface on the rear
panel of the library. The Ethernet connection is used to access the library RMU over a network.
To connect the library to the Ethernet network, insert the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the
library. When the plug is in the correct position, a click should be heard.
To
connect
the
USB
device
to
the
library:
The USB port is on the rear of the library. It can be used for firmware upgrades/skin file updates
initiated via the operator control panel (OCP)
.
