Chapter 1
1FC1202 Description and Web
Interface
The Quantum PX500 Series automated tape libraries are controlled by a
host computer via a SCSI LVD bus using the SCSI-3 medium changer
command set. The Quantum PX500 Series allows for easy conversion
from the SCSI host interface to a Fibre Channel host interface.
Fibre Channel Description 1
Fibre Channel is a serial data transfer architecture for use with computers
and mass storage devices that is rapidly emerging to challenge SCSI as
the interface of choice for host-to-storage applications.
Fibre Channel advantages include:
• Connection distances with the Quantum FC1202 option up to 500
meters
• 1 GB/Sec, 2 GB/Sec, or autosense data transfer rates
• Supports up to 126 devices in a loop mode
• Supports 24-bit addressing for over 16 million devices in point-to-
point mode or fabric, when using a Fibre Channel switch or multiple
Fibre Channel switches.

• Operating system independence
• Interconnect flexibility
FC1202 Bridge
Operation 1Once a FC1202 bridge option is installed and tested, the library operates exactly as a PX500 Series with a SCSI host interface. Operation of the
library via the operator control (OCP) is unchanged.
FC1202 Overview 1
The FC1202 provides a bridge between a Fibre Channel host and the SCSI
tape drives within a library. Figure 1 shows the FC1202 Fibre Channel
bridge and feature locations.

SCSI Ports 1The FC1202 contains two SCSI ports or buses (port 0 and port 1). When
the SCSI port (bus) is connected to a tape drive, the corresponding LED is
lit indicating activity on the SCSI bus.
