For a SCSI library, attach one end of the host interface cable to one of theconnectors on the back panel of the library (see 1 in Figure 4-13 on page4-12). For a Fibre Channel library, attach one end of the host interface cable tothe connector on the back panel of the library (see 5 in Figure 4-14 on page4-12). For a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected library, attach the host end ofthe SAS cable to the SAS HBA (see 2 in Figure 4-15 on page 4-12). Full highdrives will have dual SAS connectors.
