SCSI Bus Requirements
You must connect the Dell PowerVault 124T DLT VS160 autoloader to one of the following SCSI bus types:
Ultra 160 SCSI, Low-voltage Differential (LVD)
Ultra 320 SCSI, Low-voltage Differential (LVD)
Single-ended (SE) SCSI bus
NOTE:
The Dell PowerVault 124T DLT VS160 autoloader is not compatible with a High-voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI
bus.
Your SCSI host adapter card must also support the SCSI bus type used to connect the autoloader. If you use a LVD SCSI bus,
use a host adapter card with a connection for a high-density (HD) 68-pin cable.
NOTE:
If you use an SE SCSI bus, the tape drive's performance is limited to the maximum data transfer speed of the
bus.
NOTE:
The maximum number of autoloaders supported per SCSI bus is two.
NOTE:
The autoloader may not work with multiple SCSI LUNS when attached to a redundant array of independent disks
(RAID) controller. The autoloader is not recommended for use with a RAID controller. If this problem occurs, it is
recommended that the autoloader be attached to a separate SCSI bus controller on the server.
