SCSI host adapter for detailed instructions. NOTE: The host bus adapter used with the HP StorageWorks 1/8 Ultrium 460, Ultrium 960, Ultrium 448 and Ultrium 232 Tape Autoloaders should be SCSI-3 LVDS.

A SE SCSI host bus adapter will work, but will severely degrade performance. If there are any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed and severely degrade performance. Never attach the Ultrium 960 Tape Autoloader to a SE SCSI bus.
