Do I need additional items for installation?
• If you do not have a spare, suitably rated SCSI connector on your server, you must install a new
HBA (also known as a SCSI card). You will need to purchase and install the new HBA into an
unused, 64-bit PCI expansion slot within your server before installing your tape drive. Full
installation instructions and all necessary cables and mounting hardware are provided in this
kit.
• If you do not have a VHD, wide SCSI connector on your server or bridge, you will need to
purchase and install a VHD-to-HD adapter or use an HD-to-HD cable instead of the supplied
cable.
• If the tape drive is not the only or last device on the SCSI bus, you must terminate the bus with
a multimode terminator. If the tape drive is the only or last device on the bus, then the tape
drive enclosure provides active termination and you do not need to purchase a separate
terminator.
