SCSI Bus Requirements
There are minor differences between the Quantum SuperLoader 3 LTO-2
and the Quantum SuperLoader 3 VS160/SDLT 600 autoloaders.
SuperLoader 3 LTO-2
2
You must connect the Quantum SuperLoader 3 LTO-2 to one of the
following SCSI bus types:
• Ultra2 SCSI Low-voltage Differential (LVD), Single-ended (SE) SCSI
bus
SuperLoader 3 VS160/SDLT 600
2
You must connect the Quantum SuperLoader 3 VS160 or the Quantum
SuperLoader 3 SDLT 600 to one of the following SCSI bus types:
• Ultra 320 SCSI-3, LVD SE SCSI bus
• Ultra 160 SCSI-3, LVD SE SCSI bus
General Information
2
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:
The autoloader is not compatible with a High-voltage
Differential (HVD) SCSI bus.
Note:
If you use a single-ended (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.
