  • Page 13 The Virtual Interface Architecture (V.I.A.) Fibre Channel Option 3 (FCO3) card is the third generation of Fibre Channel (FC)-to-Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) bridge cards specifically designed for the NEO SERIES tape library family. The FCO3 is rated up to 4 Gbps and is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.
  • Page 14 Benefits and Features The FCO3 card offers you these key benefits: • Lets you seamlessly connect a NEO SERIES library to a Fibre Channel based host or Storage Area Network (SAN). • Dual Ultra 320 SCSI data ports permit high speed tape drives to run at their maximum burst rate.
  • Page 15 Device Mapping Fibre Channel Port The FCO3 Fibre Channel port provides front-end attachment to Fibre-based hosts or a Storage Area Network. The port uses the industry-standard SFP (Small Form-Factor Plugable) socket. The FCO3 card ships with a 4 Gbps Short Wave (850nm) Optical SFP. The FCO3 / SFP are capable of running 1, 2, or 4 Gigabits per second matching the speed of the Fibre Channel system.
