Connecting the Cables 10
Connect the Fibre Channel and power cables as follows:
1 Ensure that both the tape drive and computer are turned off.
2 Insert the fiber optic cable into the Fibre Channel port on the rear of
the tape drive (see figure 33
).
The connector is fully seated when it snaps into the port.
3 Insert the other end of the fiber optic cable into the Fibre Channel
port on the host computer.
4 Locate an available DC power cable in the host computer and attach
it to the power connector on the rear panel of the tape drive (see
figure 33
). The connector is keyed, preventing improper connection.
(See Power Connector Pin Assignments
on page 46 for power pin
number assignments and signal names.)
5 Check all cable connections to ensure that they are attached correctly,
seated firmly, and secured.
Note: If you are connecting several devices to the system,
connect only the tape drive to the host computer at this
time. Finish the installation procedure and confirm that
the host computer and tape drive are communicating
correctly before adding additional devices (see Adding
Additional Devices on page 88).
