2. Attach the other end of the FC cable to a switch or HBA.
3. Repeat the same process with port 1 if you have a dual port drive.
Connecting SAS cables
1. Attach the end of the SAS cable into the connector on the HBA. If you are using a SAS fanout/
Interposer cable, the end of the cable with only one connector must be plugged into the HBA.
2. Connect the drive end of the cable.
• If you are using a cable with a single connector on each end, attach the other end into the connector
on the tape drive.
• If you are using a SAS fanout/Interposer cable, attach one mini-SAS connector into the connector
on each tape drive. The unused ends of the SAS fanout/Interposer 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.
