5.3 Cabling for TLS-412xxx Libraries
Note that all TLS-412xxx models are shipped from the factory without the SCSI inter-
connect cables or terminators installed. Table 5-2 represents the preferred cabling for
a library with 12 tape drives.

The following steps outline the actions necessary to connect the cables from the FCO
to the TLS. Please see Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3.
1. Remove power from the TLS: first turn the power switch off and then remove the
power cord.
2. Remove power from the FCO: first turn the power switch off and then remove
the power cord.
3. Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 0 connector on the FCO to connec-
tor A on the left side on the TLS.
4. Connect the SCSI Bridge Cable (very short cable) from connector B to C.
5. Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 1 connector on the FCO to connec-
tor E.
6. Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 2 connector on the FCO to connec-
tor G.
7. Attach an LVD SCSI terminator at connectors D, F and H.
8. Connect a SCSI Cable from the SCSI Channel 3 connector on the FCO to connec-
tor I on the right side on the TLS.
