Expansion modules support optional Fibre Channel (FC) Input/Output
(I/O) blades that provide connections for FC tape drives in the library.
Each FC I/O blade has an embedded controller that provides
connectivity and features that enhance the performance and reliability of
tape drive operations. I/O blades also aggregate FC tape drive
connections, reducing switch port and cabling requirements.
