Figure 2.  FCO3 Card Installation Locations

5.

With the SCSI ports positioned at the bottom, carefully 
slide the 

FCO3 card

 into the option bay (

Figure 3

until resistance is felt.

6.

Apply just enough force to seat the 

card

.

7.

Push the 

top ejector handle down

 and the 

bottom 

ejector handle up

 to seat the card and latch it.

Connecting the Cables

CAUTION:  

Use only Ultra 320 (SCSI SPI-4) compliant cables and 

terminators when connecting SCSI devices to the FCO3.

1.

Verify that the 

NEO library

 is still powered down.

2.

Connect the 

SCSI jumper cable

 from the NEO 

Library Controller card SCSI Port 1 to the FCO3 card 
SCSI Port 2.

Figure 3.  Cabling When FCO3 Controls Only the Library

3.

Do 

one

 of the following:

If 

only the library

 is controlled by the FCO3 card 

(

Figure 3

), verify that a 

terminator

 is on the 

Library Controller card, and then skip to 

Step 7

Otherwise, continue with 

Step 4

4.

Determine the maximum number of drives for the 
FCO3 card (based on a 4 Gbps FC connection).

LTO-3 – one drive per SCSI port (two per card)

LTO-2 – two drives per SCSI port (four per card)

SDLT 600– two drives per SCSI port (four per card)

5.

Connect the drives to the 

Library Controller

 card 

SCSI port 2

 

(

Figure 4

).

a.

Connect a 

SCSI cable

 from the Library Controller 

card to the first tape drive.

b.

Do 

one

 of the following:

For the last tape drive in the chain, attach a 

terminator

 on the drive’s other port.

If there are more drives, connect this drive to the 
next one using a 

SCSI cable

.

c.

If this was 

not the last drive

, repeat 

Step b

.
