The components listed in Table 4 are not supplied with the jukebox, but are
needed for operation.
Table 4: Needed components
Component Description
SCSI cables High-density 68-pin (Micro D) connector
for low-voltage differential interfaces
Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Low-voltage differential SCSI (LVDS) with
a free address for each drive in the
jukebox, plus one additional address.
For example, an HBA would need 5 free
addresses for a 4-drive jukebox.
Note: The HBA must be dedicated to the
jukebox and cannot be shared with
other devices.
A single-ended (SE) HBA can be used
with this LVDS device. However, to
ensure optimum performance, HP
recommends using an LVDS HBA to take
advantage of higher data transfer rates.
If an SE HBA is used, the maximum
cable length will be limited to 3 meters.
Note: If the jukebox is placed on a bus
with an SE peripheral, the bus will run in
SE mode even if the HBA is LVDS. For a
10-drive jukebox, HP recommends one
HBA per bus.
Power cord Localized power cord as required
Application software Required to operate your jukebox.
Consult with your sales representative to
identify the software that best meets your
needs.
