6 Cabling the ATL M2500 Library for Fibre Channel
SDLT/LTO Drive Cabling with a 1-GB SAN 0
For example, if you have SDLT or LTO drives and a 1 GB SAN,
Quantum recommends a ratio of one tape drive per FC420 SCSI port.
This means that three- and four-drive libraries would require a second
FC420 Fibre bridge, and five- and six-drive libraries would require
three FC420 bridges, as shown in Figure 3
.

Note: SDLT and LTO tape drives are sometimes referred to as
Superdrives.
