Hubs
A 9840 Tape Drive can be connected to an AS/400 through a 6501, 6534, or
2729 IOP using a 68-pin SCSI cable (listed in the preceding table).
Note: The 6501 IOP also requires an interposer (order from IBM P/N
05H3834).

Hubs
Because of the fast growth and the increased demand for FC attachments, hubs
can provide cascading (multiple) loops within a FC network. StorageTek tape
drives are designed to use hubs to provide for an arbitrated loop which
provides the following capabilities:
•
Centralizes the attachment of the tape drives within the arbitrated loop
•
Establishes connections with fiber-optic cables
•
Provides translation of physical media (such as copper to optical fiber)
•
Provides an external power supply for the port bypass
•
Provides port bypass functionality for port failures
•
Allows cascading to increase tape drive and initiator attachment
