Connecting the Cables
After installing the Interface Manager card and FC interface controllers, the next
step is to connect the cables. This procedure is divided into the following steps:
1. Connecting the Interface Manager Card to the Fibre Channel Interface
Controllers using the supplied Ethernet cable bundle
2. Connecting the SCSI Bus Cables to the main SCSI bus of the library
3. Connecting the Fibre Channel Cables to the FC interface controllers
4. Connecting the Interface Manager Card to the LAN
5. Connecting the PC or Laptop to the Interface Manager card
Connecting the Interface Manager Card to the Fibre Channel Interface
Controllers
The Interface Manager card is connected to up to four FC interface controllers
using the supplied Ethernet cable bundle. This bundle consists of four short
Ethernet cables that are grouped together with shrinkable tubing. Connect the
cables as follows:
1. Connect the four connectors from one end of the Ethernet cable bundle to the
four Ethernet ports labeled “To Fibre Channel Controllers” on the Interface
Manager card. Be sure to connect all four Ethernet cables from the Ethernet
cable bundle, even if you are not using four FC interface controllers.
