Chapter 1 — Library Overview
Tape Drive Interfaces
The method used to connect the library's tape drives to the network
depends on the type of network and the tape drive interface. The tape
drives used in the library have either an Ultra320 SCSI or a native Fibre
Channel interface. Depending on the type of tape drive, the drive sled
includes the following connectors:

Figure 9 SCSI and Fibre Channel connectors
SCSI: Ultra-3 SCSI "LVD" 68-pin Micro D female connector (see
Figure 9) – Each SCSI tape drive has two SCSI connectors. Either a
terminator or an LVD SCSI cable is connected to the tape drive
(depending on whether you have the LTO-3 tape drives daisy-chained).
SCSI: Ultra-4 SCSI LVD VHDCI 68-pin female connector (see
Each SCSI tape drive has two SCSI connectors. Both a terminator and
an LVD SCSI cable are connected to the tape drive (do not daisy-chain
LTO-4 SCSI tape drives).
Fibre Channel: Multi-mode SFP LC connector (see
Fibre Channel tape drive has fiber optic SFPs to connect the tape drives
to a Fibre Channel network. LTO-4 Fibre Channel tape drives have
dual-port functionality, which allows you to connect two separate Fibre
Channel cables to each tape drive.
