Card cage and controllers

The library card cage The library card cage is located in the top of the library
cabinet, above cluster 0. It houses up to six FC interface controllers (e2400-160)
or native FC interface controllers (e2400-FC 2G), the library robotics controller
(e1200-160), a fan, and two power supplies (see

e2400-160 FC and e2400-FC 2GB interface controllers

The FC interface controllers translates the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to and
from the SCSI protocol, if necessary. It transfers commands, data, and status
information to and from FC controllers and FC and SCSI devices.
Supported devices include:
The e2400-160 FC interface controller provides bidirectional connectivity for
Ultra-3 SCSI buses in a Fibre Channel Switched Fabric (FC-SW) environment.
The e2400-FC 2GB interface controller provides fibre connectivity for native FC
drives, such as the Ultrium 460-FC or 960 drive.
