Cabling the ATL M2500 Library for Fibre Channel 7

SDLT/LTO Drive Cabling with a 2-GB SAN 0

If the ATL M2500 library with SDLT or LTO drives is connected to a

2-GB SAN, Quantum recommends a maximum ratio of 2 tape drives

per FC420 SCSI port. This means that one FC420 Fibre bridge could

manage up to four tape drives, but a second FC420 Fibre bridge would

be required for libraries with five or six tape drives.

Figure 4

shows a six-drive library utilizing a two-drive per port

cabling scheme.

FC420-Port Cabling

Note: To increase the bandwidth available to each tape drive,

install additional FC420 Fibre bridges and use the cabling

configuration shown in figure 3
