Hello Paul, The 2 ports on the back of the LTO5 drives is just in case one port dies you can use the other one.  You can connect just using 1 port as if you were to connect both ports you would only use one at a time on the TL. Please let us know if you have any other questions
Hi, We plan to purchase TL2000 FC - LTO5 with Dual Tape Drives, after looking at the getting started guide I noticed there are two FC ports at the back of the TL2000 chasis. Do I need to connect both these FC ports with LC connectors to my SAN switch or will one FC port do ? My SAN switch is Cisco MDS 9148, Server is m620 with QME 2572. My chassis has FC 8 pass through modules. Thanks, Paul
