Library Network and Tape Drive Cables

The library can be used in a 62.5-micron-cable Storage Area Network (SAN). However,
the cable that connects the library to the network must be a 50-micron cable. The
maximum distances supported on a Fibre Channel link is determined by the link
speed, the type of fiber (50 or 62.5 micron), and the device to which the library is
attached. Refer to your switch vendor to determine what is supported in your storage
area network.
The typical support distances for the cables are:
4 Gbps = up to 70 m (230 ft) for 62.5-micron, 150 m (492 ft) for 50-micron
■
2 Gbps = up to 150 m (492 ft) for 62.5-micron, 300 m (984 ft) for 50-micron
■
1 Gbps = up to 175 m (574 ft) for 62.5-micron, 500 m (1640 ft) for 50-micron
■
If your library attaches to a host bus adapter (HBA), refer to the documentation for the
HBA for the supported cable distances. For a list of cables, see
If your library will support encryption, see
page 9-7.

Environmental Requirements

For optimal reliability, maintain the environment between the recommended ranges.
Although this equipment is designed to operate in environmental conditions of 20% to
80% humidity, a recommended industry best practice is to maintain a relative
humidity of 40% to 50%.

Seismic or Earthquake Ratings

The requirements for seismic compatibility vary dramatically throughout the world.
Therefore, Oracle does not offer a standard "seismic" feature for the SL3000 library. It is
recommended that any customer who has seismic concerns work with local experts
who are familiar with the local code and requirements. Professional Services can also
be engaged to help coordinate this activity.
