Note

When you reconfigure the library, you may also need to

reconfigure your backup software. For more information, consult

the documentation provided with your software.

The optional Fibre Channel controllers in the library serve as a bridge between

Note

It is not necessary to connect the library to its Fibre Channel

topology (arbitrated loop or fabric) before configuration.
