Cabling the library
Cabling the HP StorageWorks e2400-FC 2G interface
controllers
The following procedure describes how to cable the e2400-FC 2G interface controllers:
NOTE: Each e2400-FC 2G interface controller card ships with an Ethernet cable. The tape drives ship
with a fiber optic cable. These parts are needed for the following procedures.
1. Remove the end caps from the Fibre Channel connector on each tape drive to be cabled (see
Figure 30).

2. Insert an FC cable into the tape drive connector port (see Figure 31) and connect the other end to a
TD# port on an interface controller. Attach a label on each end of the cable to mark the port
designations.

3. Finish cabling a total of up to four tape drives to the TD# ports on the e2400-FC 2G interface
controllers.
