SCSI Controller
Interfaces
You can configure the Super DLTtape drive with one of two
possible SCSI interface cards. These cards can provide one
of three possible SCSI interface types. The multimode
single-ended (MSE) card provides either a low-voltage
differential (LVD) mode running at 80 MB/second or single-
ended (SE) mode running at 40 MB/second. The
high-voltage differential (HVD) mode runs at 40 MB/
second.
A single-ended drive only works with a single-ended SCSI
controller card. A differential drive only works with a
differential SCSI controller card.
Single-ended SCSI interfaces support up to 7 devices on
the SCSI chain using cable lengths up to 3 meters.
Differential SCSI interfaces support up to 15 devices on
the SCSI chain using cable lengths up to 25 meters.
!
A low-voltage differential SCSI interface only works with a
single-ended device if the controller is switched to single-
ended mode.
