Controller Description
RIM2 TheRIM2hastwodual‐channelFibreChannelports (Port AandPortB),which
canbeusedtoprovideconnectionstotwoseparateFibreChannelarbitrated
loopsorfabrics.Thetwoportscanalsobeusedtoprovideredundantcontrol

TheUSBports(4)canbeusedtoconnectaUSBdeviceforupdatingtheRIM2
duringalibrarypackageupdate.
Important: Only direct-attached Fibre Channel drives can be used when a
RIM2 is used to provide the robotic control path. If you have SCSI drives, you
must use an F-QIP or E-QIP to provide the robotic control path as well as
connectivity for the drives.
Notes:
 TheEthernetportsontheRIM2arereservedforfutureuse.
 TheCANport,RS‐232port,andmonitorportontheRIM2arefor
troubleshootingonly.
