Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to the 3216 BIC
A fiber-optic cable must be installed properly for a tape drive CRU to receive signals
from a 3216 controller. The fiber-optic cable has two leads and keyed duplex
connectors. One end attaches to the 3216 BIC, and the other end attaches to the BEB
at the rear of the tape drive CRU. Install the fiber-optic cable connector to the 3216
BIC as follows:
1. Remove the dust cover from the fiber-optic connector at one end of the cable.
2. Hold the connector so that the keyway meets the key in the BIC receptacle (see
Figure 3-21 on page 3-35).
3. Insert the connector into the BIC receptacle until both cantilever arms of the
connector click into the transceiver device mounted on the BIC.
