In order for this to work if you have LVD 3580 drives in your 3583 library
your SAN Data Gateway Router 2108-R03 must have the LVD scsi connections.
Likewise if you have HVD 3580 drives in your 3583 library your SAN Data
Gateway router 2108-R03 must have the HVD scsi connections. Unfortunately
in my SAN I have LVD 3580 drives and a HVD 2108-R03.
A showBox command from my SAN Data Gateway Router shows what type of scsi
connections it has.

HVDT = SCSI High Voltage Differential - Terminated
FCOSW = FibreChannel Optical Short Wave
SCSI-1 requires High Voltage Differential cable
SCSI-2 requires High Voltage Differential cable
FCOSW-1 slot-1 requires FibreChannel Multi-Mode (SW) cable
value = 0 = 0x0
Beyond that, it should work.
