Workstation

On supporting platforms, the library can be connected to an HP Fibre Channel SCSI multiplexer (HP A3308A and HP A3511A/Z) and thereby benefi t from Fibre Channel speed and dis t an ce. The FC-SCSI multiplexer is supported on K, T, and V platforms running HP-UX 10.20 TFC or higher. (Consult an HP sales representative for the latest information.)

Library Features

SCSI Ports

SCSI ports allow connection of the library to a host using SCSI cables. Each SCSI port has its own bus.

The SCSI interface mode switches specify term power and termination settings.

Single-ended/differential mode for the library bus (bus 0) is set from the control panel (see “Setting the Robotics Controller Bus Type on page 4-13 for details). All drive buses are differe nti al.
