Connecting the Library to Fibre Channel
Consult the documentation for your host operating systems and Fibre Channel adapter
cards for information on adding new devices. In particular, look for details on creating
and configuring device files or drivers, and whether your system must be restarted
before using new devices.
To connect the library, insert the cable into the GBIC port on the rear of the library
(Figure 3-7).
The library can have one of three different kinds of GBICs, shown below with their
corresponding cables and connectors.
