Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to the BEB

After you have routed the AC power cords, connect the fiber-optic cable to the BEB

installed at the rear of the tape drive CRU.

Install the fiber-optic cable connector to the BEB as follows:

1. Remove the filler plug from the fiber-optic cable socket on the top of the BEB

enclosure. The filler plug is for protection during shipping.

2. Remove the dust cover from the fiber-optic connector at the other end of the cable.

3. Hold the connector so that the keyway meets the key in the BEB enclosure

receptacle (see Figure 3-15 on page 3-28).

Caution. Fiber-optic cables have a central core of fragile glass fibers. To prevent breakage,

avoid bending the cables sharply and do not handle them roughly.
