4. FCO Type C Installation
4.1 Fibre Channel Option (FCO) Type C Installation Considerations
4.1.1 Operating Environment
A TLS with the Fibre Channel Option is designed to operate in an ambient environ-
ment from 41
o
F to 95
o
F (5
o
C to 35
o
C), 20% to 80% relative humidity, and at altitudes
from -1000 to +10,000 feet. Moisture must not be allowed to condense inside the sys-
tem.
4.1.2 Ventilation
When selecting a location for the TLS, be sure to provide sufficient space behind the
unit to allow for cable connections. Also, be sure nothing will block the air intake at
the inlet air filters or the top air vent slots.
4.2 FCO Type C Interconnect Cabling
The Fibre Channel Option for TLS-84xx libraries is 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. All the bridge/router interconnect
cables are accessed at the rear of the unit.
