Backup Exec 12.5 and Quantum Library

Hello everyone.  I am a network person that has been pushed into storage networking and management.  I have a Quantum Scalar i500 tape library with 2 IBM LTO4 drives and fibre channel connectivity.  There is no FC I/O blade in the library.  My (embarassingly) simple question involves hooking this library up to a server.  Do I need a SCSI connection between the server and the library for BE to see the library?  Right now the server and the library are both plugged in to a SAN switch.  The BE server sees the individual drive, but not the library.  Please forgive my noob-ish question, but I would appreciate any help you can give.  Thank you.

Update.  Apparently we had a bad FC HBA in the server.  Replaced it and BE now sees both drives as part of the library.  Everything is working great now.
