Attaching the Library to a Server
The 2U library and the 4U library can be attached to servers using the following
interfaces:
v SCSI (LVD Ultra 160)
v Fibre Channel
v Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Connecting the Host Interface Cable
To connect the host interface cables to the library:
1. It is recommended that you shut down and turn OFF the associated server.
Turn OFF all attached devices. Remove the power cables from the server and
all attached accessories.
Important: Failure to remove the power cords from these devices before
connecting the host interface cable could result in damage to the
library.
2. For a SCSI library, attach one end of the host interface cable to one of the
connectors on the back panel of the library (see 1 in Figure 4-13 on page
4-12). For a Fibre Channel library, attach one end of the host interface cable to
the connector on the back panel of the library (see 5 in Figure 4-14 on page
4-12). For a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected library, attach the host end of
the SAS cable to the SAS HBA (see 2 in Figure 4-15 on page 4-12). Full high
drives will have dual SAS connectors. Half high drives will have one SAS
