4.5.5 Connect the Fibre Channel Cable

1.

Fibre Channel cables are “hot-swappable”—meaning you may connect and disconnect them with
unit power on. Therefore, unlike other systems, the tape drive and computer may remain on to
connect the SDLT 600 tape drive to the host computer.

2.

Insert the fiber optic cable into the Fibre Channel port on the back of the tape drive as shown in

Figure 4-8

. The connector is fully seated when it snaps into the port.
