If you want to power a device on or off while it is connected to the same SCSI bus
as an Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, you can do so if, during the power-on cycle, you
quiesce all devices (including the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive) on the bus.
Connect the External Fibre Channel Interface to the Server
To connect the enclosure to the Fibre Channel interface:
__ 1. Connect an external fiber cable to both the enclosure and the appropriate
attachment (server, switch, or hub). For the location of the connectors and
for information about attaching the fiber cable, refer to the documentation for
your enclosure and for your server, switch, or hub.
Note: A drive with a Fibre Channel interface can be ordered with several
lengths of fiber cabling, up to 61 m (200 ft). For ordering information,
see Table 16 on page 95.
__ 2. Run the appropriate Fibre Channel attachment verification procedure from
your server (for instructions, refer to the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers
Installation and User’s Guide). If a SCSI error occurs, refer to “Using Sense
Data” on page 71.
Step 12. Connect the External LDI Interface to the Server (optional)
Use this step only if your enclosure requires an LDI interface.
To perform a checkout of the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, connect the enclosure’s external
LDI cable to the server (for the location of the external LDI connector, refer to the
documentation for the enclosure).
Step 13. Configure the Tape Drive to the Server, Switch, or Hub
To configure the SCSI tape drive (Model T400) to the server, or to configure the
Fibre Channel drive (Model T400F) to a server, switch, or hub, refer to the
documentation for that server, switch, or hub.
