and it should be the only device on the USB bus. Although the tape drive
will function on USB 1.1, performance will be severely degraded. See also

What are the mounting requirements for an internal tape drive?
You need one industry-standard, 5¼-inch, half-height bay in which to install
the Tandberg Data DAT tape drive. For many servers, no mounting tray or
rails are required. Devices simply slide into the server's chassis and are
fixed with screws. Other servers have built-in trays or rails.
Some servers use non-standard mounting rails and do not include spares.
If this is the case with your system, you will have to order these accessories
from the server manufacturer before you can install the tape drive.
