The number of FC1202 bridges required depends on the number of tape 

drives installed in the library. 
• 1 to 2 tape drives requires 1 FC1202
• 3 to 4 tape drives requires 2 FC1202 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)
• 5 to 6 tape drives requires 3 FC1202 bridges (PX506 and PX510 only)
• 7 to 8 tape drives requires 4 FC1202 bridges (PX510 only)
• 9 to 10 tape drives requires 5 FC1202 bridges (PX510 only)
To install the FC1202 bridge:

Loosen the two PHILLIPS screws securing the blank off plate(s) to the 

CPCI card cage and expose the number of slots needed for the FC1202 

installation (one blank off plate per FC1202).

With the SCSI ports located to your right as you face the back of the 

library, slide the first FC1202 into the slot of the card cage (see 

 for 

PX502, 

 for PX506, and 

 for PX510).
