Installing, Removing, or Resetting a Drive on an Active SCSI Bus
Attaching a drive to an active SCSI bus is supported. However, the preferred and
safest method of adding, removing, or resetting a drive is to power-off the system.
When adding, removing, or resetting a drive on an active SCSI bus, perform the
following steps:
1. Quiesce the drive. The drive to be added, removed, or reset must not be
involved in any bus activity.
2. Disconnect power to the drive.
3. Connect or disconnect the SCSI bus cables to or from the drive’s SCSI
connector. Ensure that the SCSI bus remains intact from the server (initiator) to
the terminator throughout the connection or disconnection process.
Note: Changing or moving the terminator disrupts the continuity of the SCSI
bus and interrupts any process on the bus.
Fibre Channel Attachment
Attention: A Class I laser assembly, in the optical transceiver, is
mounted on the Ultrium Fibre Channel electronics card. This laser
assembly is registered with the Department of Health and Human
Services and is in compliance with IEC825.
The Ultrium Tape Drive Model T200F has one Fibre Channel interface (also called a
port). In accordance with the standards of the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), the port runs Fibre Channel Protocol (which includes SCSI commands on
the Fibre Channel) with ANSI-defined Fibre Channel Tape Support. You can attach
the Fibre Channel port to the following servers and SAN components. For additional
information about the Fibre Channel connectivity, visit the web at

adapters and operating systems, visit the web at http://www.storage.ibm.com/lto.
