Scsi Tape Drives - HP LTO-6 Ultrium FH SAS Getting Started Manual

SCSI tape drives

To support the high performance of the tape drive it is important that you connect to a recommended
SCSI bus and use a suitably-rated SCSI cable.
1. Check your server or HBA documentation to ensure that the SCSI bus and cabling supports
the tape drive's bus speeds: Ultra320 for LTO–4 and LTO–3 tape drives, Ultra160 for LTO–2
tape drives.
2. Attach the SCSI ribbon cable supplied with the tape drive to the SCSI host bus adapter and
connect it to the SCSI connector of the drive.
3. Attach a spare power cable from the server's internal power supply to the power connector.
4. Attach a spare connector on the server's built-in SCSI bus or HBA's SCSI ribbon cable to the
SCSI connector of the drive.
