3.1 General Description
The Fibre Channel Option (FCO) connects TLS-4000, 412xxx, 8000 and 88xxx librar-
ies to Fibre Channel (FC).
There are three Fibre Channel Option configurations available for single and dual bay
TLS libraries. Type C models incorporate a single channel Fibre Channel router, en-
closed in an assembly, mounted to the back of the TLS library. Type B and ATTO™
models contain a dual channel Fibre Channel router and are designed to be rack
mountable.
Fibre Channel Option Type C for TLS-84xx libraries are 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.
The installation and operation of the various library models is virtually identical.
Models 412xxx and 88xxx are referred to as dual bay libraries because they contain
dual drive bays. All other TLS models are single bay libraries. Differences among the
models are noted where required.
