Chapter 2. General Information.
Integrated Cooling Fans
The rear panel contains forced-air cooling fans, which draw air inward through the front and expel it
out in the back. The fans start whenever the drive is operating or when the internal temperature in the
StorageLoader gets too high. The cooling fans are field replaceable units. See Appendix C. Field
Replacement Units (FRUs).
Main Power Switch/Fuse/Power cord connection
The main power switch is found on the rear of the loader on the power supply bracket. The power
switch, the fuse holder (with a 250V 2A (H) fuse) and the AC power cord connection are combined in
one common unit.
SCSI Interface Connectors (SCSI only)
The StorageLoader has two shielded 68-pin HD SCSI connectors on the rear panel. The connectors
are used for connecting the tape drive to a SCSI bus. These connectors can link to the following:
•
A shielded male HD SCSI cable
•
A shielded male HD SCSI terminator.
SAS Interface Connector (SAS only)
The StorageLoader has a SFF 8088 External mini-SAS connector on the rear panel. The connector is
used for connecting the tape drive to a host or hub.
Ethernet Port
This port is for the Remote Management system and allows you to connect the StorageLoader to a
10/100 BaseT Ethernet network.
Back Panel Cover Plate
Removing the Back Panel Cover Plate gives you access to all the field-replaceable units located at the
back of the StorageLoader.
