LVD SCSI devices. Because the tape drives installed in the library are LVD
(low-voltage differential) devices, all other devices on the SCSI bus should
also be LVD. These devices include the controller cards, terminators, and any
other devices on the bus. For optimum performance, use an Ultra 160 SCSI
host bus adapter.
Note: Although Ultra-2 and Ultra-3 LVD SCSI are compatible with
single-ended SCSI, Tandberg Data does not support using the LVD
library on a single-ended SCSI bus.
SCSI cable lengths. Make sure that the cabling for the SCSI bus attached to
the tape drives does not exceed the maximum length restriction (see
Termination. Make sure that the SCSI bus is properly terminated as
described on page 18. If another device previously terminated the SCSI bus
and is no longer at the physical end of the bus, be sure to remove the
terminator from that device.
LTO-2, LTO-3, and LTO-4 SCSI tape drives require Ultra 3 or
Important
LVD 160 terminator to function properly on the SCSI bus. An
inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues,
including bus hangs and Read/Write failures.

ADI Interface(s). See "Replacing a Tape Drive (same configuration)" on
page 165.
Compatibility. Make sure that your library and tape drive(s) are compatible
with the backup application you plan to use. Check

installed. Refer to installation instructions for the controller card. Make sure
that the appropriate drivers for the library and the tape drive(s) are installed.
