What type of terminator is required?

The Scalar 24 library can be purchased with either SCSI drives or FC drives. The library with SCSI drives
is compatible with Low Voltage Differential (LVD) communication. A compatible HD68 pin, LVD/SE
terminator is included with the accessory kit. The Scalar 24 is not compatible with High Differential Voltage
(HVD) communication. The Scalar 24 library with FC drives does not require terminators.
For more information on connecting a terminator to your Scalar 24, refer to
page 14.

Can I add an LTO-3 drive to a Scalar 24 LTO-1 or LTO-2 Library?

Yes, if both drives are SCSI or both drives are fibre. The Scalar 24 supports mixed generation LTO drives.

Where are the drivers located?

Visit the host application or drive manufacturer's website for drivers for your Scalar 24. Drivers are not pro-
vided on the Scalar 24 product CD.

How do I manually remove a tape?

There are four places within the Scalar 24 where you may want to manually remove a tape. You can remove
a tape manually from a drive, the rear slots, the magazines, and the picker. Refer to
