Step 1: Check the SCSI connection
Use the following questions to help you check your SCSI connection. As long as you have a
spare drive bay in your server you should have a spare connection on the internal SCSI bus.
You need to ensure it is the correct SCSI bus type. Windows users can use HP Library & Tape
Tools to check the SCSI bus type, see page 30. If you answer ‘Yes’ to all these questions, you
are ready to install your tape drive. If you answer ‘No’, you will probably need to purchase
and install additional items. For product details, go to

table 1: supported SCSI bus types
SCSI Bus Type Transfer Speed Supported
Ultra 160 LVD Up to 160 MB/s Yes. This is a recommended configuration.
Ultra 320 LVD Up to 320 MB/s Yes . This is a recommended configuration.
Ultra 2 LVD Up to 80 MB/s Yes, but this is not recommended
Ultra single-ended,
wide
Up to 40 MB/s Yes, but this is not recommended as it will restrict
performance. Do not connect to a narrow SCSI bus.
High Voltage
Differential
Up to 40 MB/s No. The drive will not work and you may damage
the drive or controller
1 Is there a spare SCSI port on
the server’s internal SCSI
bus?
3 Will the drive be the only
device on the bus? This is the
recommended configuration.
Do not connect to a RAID
controller channel.
2 Are the SCSI ribbon cable
and HBA card rated at Ultra
160 or higher? (Make sure
the ribbon cable is
terminated. See page 19.)
Performance may be impaired.
Consider installing (if you have a spare
PCI slot) or replacing your card with an
Ultra 320 HBA. Make sure the last
device on the bus is terminated.
See table below. If the SCSI bus differs
from the recommended specification for
the drive, performance of either the
drive or the bus may be impaired.
Consider replacing your card with one
of the recommended HBAs.
Purchase and install one of the
recommended HBAs into an unused
64-bit PCI expansion slot. See table
below.
