Introduction 3
Introduction 0
The Quantum ATL P4000/P7000 Series automated tape libraries are
controlled by a host computer via a SCSI differential bus using the
SCSI-2 medium changer command set. There is also an RS-232
diagnostic port interface.
The P4000/P7000 Prism Architecture™ allows for easy conversion
from the SCSI host interface to a Fibre Channel host interface. This
document describes upgrading a standard P4000/P7000 equipped
with a SCSI host interface to a Fibre Channel host interface using a
Prism FC470 Upgrade kit.
Fibre Channel
Description 0
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 ATL FC470 option up to
500 meters
• 2 GB/Sec 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
Prism FC470 Router
Operation 0
Once a Prism FC470 Router option is installed and tested, the library
operates exactly as a P4000/P7000 with a SCSI host interface.
Operation of the library via the graphical user interface (GUI) is
unchanged.

FC470 Overview 0
The FC470 provides a bridge between a Fibre Channel host and the
SCSI tape drives within a library. Figure 1 shows the FC470 Fibre
Channel bridge and feature locations.

6 FC470 Overview
Figure 1 FC470 Overview
SCSI Ports 0
The FC470 contains four SCSI ports or buses (port 0, port 1, port 2, and
port 3). When the SCSI port (bus) is connected to a tape drive, the
corresponding LED is lit indicating activity on the SCSI bus.
Fibre Channel Ports 0
The FC470 contains two Fibre Channel ports (port 0 and port 1). Each
port has two corresponding LEDs. The top LED indicates activity on
the Fibre Channel port and the bottom LED indicates a valid Fibre
Channel link on the port.
Ethernet Port 0
The FC470 contains one Ethernet port which is used for remote
configuration and bridge management. The port has two
corresponding LEDs. The top LED indicates activity on the port and
the bottom LED indicates a valid Ethernet link.
Serial Port 0
The FC470 contains one serial port which is used to access the serial
interface and locally manage or configure the bridge.
Power Indicator 0
The FC470 contains one power LED which indicates two power states
on the bridge. If the LED is green, the bridge is powered on. If the LED
is yellow, the bridge is in the process of performing a “Power-On-Self-
Test” or a the bridge has a processor problem.

FC470 Web Interface 7
Reset Button 0
The FC470 contains a reset button that is used to force a manual reboot
of the bridge. A pen or other small object must be used to access the
reset button. You can also reboot the FC470 from the web interface.
FC470 Web Interface 0
The FC470 utilizes a web-based interface which allows you to
configure and manage the bridge from a remote workstation on the
same network. The FC470 is managed through the following web
pages (accessible using Internet browser software installed on the host
computer):
•Home Page contains status information, including a physical
image of the FC470.
•System Page allows you to configure standard system
components.
•Ports Page allows you to configure both the SCSI and Fibre
Channel ports
•Discovery Page allows you to display connected devices and
discover new devices
•Mapping Page allows you to display and configure route mapping
•Statistics Page displays the FC470 statistics
•Utilities Page allows you to access FTP utilities and trace
information
•Report Menu displays the consolidated view of all FC470 systems
•Reboot Option allows you to remotely reboot the FC470
The FC470 supports the following web browsers:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
You can download this software from
http://www.microsoft.com.
• Netscape Navigator 6.2 or later
You can download this software from
http://www.netscape.com.
Caution: Resetting the FC470 during a backup/restore job can
result in a disruption of that process and loss of data.
Ensure all data transfer jobs have completed before
resetting the FC470.
