v Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

Connecting the host interface cable

About this task
To connect the host interface cables to the library:
Procedure
1. It is recommended that you shut down and turn OFF the associated server. Turn OFF all attached
devices. Remove the power cables from the server and all attached accessories.
Important: Failure to remove the power cords from these devices before the host interface cable is
connected might result in damage to the library.
2. For a SCSI library, attach one end of the host interface cable to one of the connectors on the back
panel of the library (see 1 in Figure 35 on page 54). For a Fibre Channel library, attach one end of
the host interface cable to the connector on the back panel of the library (see 4 in Figure 36 on page
54). For a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected library, attach the host end of the SAS cable to the
SAS HBA (see 2 in Figure 37 on page 54). Full height drives have dual SAS connectors. Half height
