Capacity Activation
For libraries with library firmware FRS_7.x and higher, use the table below for slot
upgrade part numbers.
Cables
The following sections provide information about the different interface cables. When
ordering cables, keep this in mind:
■ Riser cables can be used in computer rooms and are not classified according to
flammability or toxic gas emissions.
■ Plenum cables are designed for installation in air ducts and manufactured to meet
UL standards for flammability and produce little smoke.
Ethernet Cables
The library uses Ethernet cables for TCP/IP connections, which include host and
library-to-library communications.
Fiber-Optic Cables
LC connectors are the industry standard for all 2 Gbps or higher Fibre Channel
devices. SC connectors are the standard for 1 Gbps Fibre Channel devices such as the
T9840A tape drive. The SL8500 drive tray requires LC plugs for connection on the rear
panel. When re-using T9840A tape drives, you will need to use an SC to LC adapter.
The SL8500 drive tray only supports LC connectors.
