NTERFACE
This section provides information about the interfaces used to connect the library and tape
drives to the host systems. It also provides information about the Ethernet interface used to
access the library's LumOS web interface.
Direct-attached tape drives have a native Fibre Channel or SAS interface; direct-attached SCSI
drives are not supported.
For information about how IBM drives support Fibre Channel and SAS communications, refer
to the tape drive documentation, available from IBM at ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/.

Network Interface Cable Requirements

The type of cables required to connect the library and its drives to the network depend on the
type of interface being used.
Library Access
Provide a Category 5 (10/100BaseT connection) data-grade Ethernet cable that is compliant
with EIA/TIA 568 from an active Ethernet network to be connected to an Ethernet port on the
LCM (each Ethernet port is a pin-through-hole RJ-45 shielded connector ) to support remote
access to the library's LumOS user interface and to allow the library to automatically email
notifications to users and AutoSupport tickets to Spectra Logic Technical Support. During
installation, the library's connection is set up with the library's IP address, subnet, proxy
server, and other IP configuration settings.
CAUTION Some port scanning software can interfere with remote library sessions.
Only one port at a time can be used to connect the drive to a Fibre Channel network. If desired, the two ports can be used to create
a
a failover configuration.
