Important
Follow this precaution if your FC tape drive has the connectors on the side, as
shown Figure 8.
While sliding a Fibre Channel tape drive located in the left-most location into the
library, ensure that you hold the Fibre Channel cable of the adjacent Fibre Channel
tape drive out of the way to prevent damaging the cable.
