identifying SCSI connections

HP Surestore DAT 24 tape drives and autoloaders are single-ended, fast SCSI-2

compatible devices. External drives have a 50-pin, low density bail SCSI

connector.

The HP Surestore DAT 40 drive and HP Surestore DAT 40x6 autoloader are ultra

wide, SCSI-2 compatible devices. External drives have a 68-pin, high density

screwlock (or thumbscrew) SCSI connector.

To determine the appropriate SCSI cable, you need to know what type of SCSI

port the host server has. Is it 8-bit (narrow) or 16-bit (wide), is it single-ended (SE)

SCSI or low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI, is it low density (LD), high density

(HD) or very high density (VHDCI)?

The following diagrams may help you identify the different types of SCSI

connector.

50-contact, centronics-type, ribbon

contact connector as used for Slow,

Fast or Ultra, 8-bit Narrow SCSI

applications, such as HP Surestore

DAT 24 devices.

68-pin high-density SCSI connector as

used for 16-bit Wide or Ultra Wide

SCSI devices, such as HP Surestore

DAT 40 devices.

68-contact, ribbon type connector,

known as the "VHDCI" SCSI

connector. (You need an adapter if

you want to use HP Surestore DAT

devices with a VHDCI connector.)
