3.1 General Description
The Fibre Channel Option (FCO) connects TLS-4000, 412xxx, 5000, 58xxx, 6000,
68xxx, 8000 and 88xxx libraries to Fibre Channel (FC).
There are three Fibre Channel Option configurations. Fibre Channel Option Type A
and C incorporate a single channel Fibre Channel router, enclosed in an assembly,
mounted to the back of the TLS library. These models are available for single and
dual bay TLS libraries.
Fibre Channel Option Types A and C for TLS-412xxx libraries are installed when they
are shipped from the factory. All other models have the Fibre Channel Option shipped
separately from the libraries and require installation in the field. They are attached to
the rear of the TLS, taking the place of the rear service panel.
Fibre Channel Option Type B incorporates a dual channel Fibre Channel router, en-
closed in an assembly mounted to the top of a dual bay TLS library. This option is fac-
tory installed.
The installation and operation of the various library models is virtually identical.
Models 412xxx, 58xxx, 68xxx and 88xxx are referred to as dual bay libraries because
they contain dual drive bays. All other TLS models are single bay libraries. Differ-
ences among the models are noted where required.
