controllers do not support tape devices. To verify the specifications of your HBA or find a list of compatible
HBAs, see the DAPR compatibility matrix: 

http://www.hpe.com/storage/DAPRcompatibility

CAUTION:

Do not connect the library to a SAS RAID controller unless the DAPR compatibility matrix shows
that the controller is qualified with the library. The server might not be able to boot when the library
is connected to an unsupported SAS RAID controller.

About SAS

SAS is a computer bus technology for transferring data to and from storage devices, including disk drives
and tape drives. SAS-1, which is used for LTO-4 tape drives, is designed to transfer data at 3 Gb/s.
SAS-2, which is used for LTO-6 and later generation tape drives, is designed to transfer data at 6 Gb/s.

CAUTION:

Reliable data transfer requires high-quality cables and connections.

• Always verify that the SAS cable is rated for the data transfer speed of the HBA and tape drive.

• Do not use adapters or converters between the HBA and the tape drive. SAS signal rates require

clean connections and a minimum number of connections between the HBA and the tape drive.

• SAS cables described as "equalized" might not support 6 Gb/s data rates. Do not use equalized

cables with LTO-6 or later generation tape drives unless these cables are verified for 6 Gb/s data
rates.

• For optimal performance, only use cables of the length specified as qualified for your products.

Do not use a SAS cable longer than 6 meters.

Cable requirements

SAS uses serial connections, with a direct connection between the host server and each of the storage
devices. This method eliminates the need to configure SCSI buses and assign SCSI IDs, as is required
for parallel SCSI devices.

Most SAS HBA ports have four SAS channels. A tape drive uses one channel, so each HBA port can
support up to four tape drives. You can use a cable with one connector on each end, but only one channel
will be used. The SAS fanout cable recommended for use with the library can connect up to four SAS
tape drives to a single SAS HBA port.

Figure 3: Example SAS fanout cable

Connectors

The host end of the cable must have the same type of connector as the HBA external SAS port.
