Interface Module 2 (RIM2).
Description
The RIM2 has two dual‐channel 8‐Gbps Fibre Channel ports (Port A and 
Port B), which can be used to provide connections to two separate Fibre
Channel arbitrated loops or fabrics. The two ports can also be used to provide
redundant control paths to the robotics from a single Fibre Channel arbitrated
loop or fabric.
Controller failover can be configured using a second RIM2.
The USB ports (4) can be used to connect a USB device for updating the RIM2
during a library package update.
Notes:
 The Ethernet ports on the RIM2 are reserved for future use.
 The CAN port, RS‐232 port, and monitor port on the RIM2 are for
troubleshooting only.
The commands to control the motion of the robotics within the partition are
sent from the host to the exporting drive's logical unit number 1 (LUN 1). The
motion control commands are then routed to the robotics using the exporting
drive's Automation/Drive Interface (ADI).
