System Requirements
Your DLT VS80 tape drive requires a wide, SCSI-2, Low Voltage Differential
(LVD) or Single-Ended (SE) SCSI bus. The following controller types are
supported:
■ Fast SCSI-2 (Wide)
■ Wide-Ultra SCSI
■ Ultra2 SCSI
■ Ultra3 SCSI
Note: The DLT VS80 tape drive does not support High Voltage Differential (HVD)
controllers.
Install and configure the controller before beginning the drive installation, using
the documentation included with the controller. If you connect your DLT VS80
tape drive to an SE SCSI bus, drive performance is limited to the maximum data
transfer speed of the SE bus.
If connected to an Ultra2 or Ultra3 controller, data transfer is limited to the
maximum transfer rate of the Wide-Ultra interface on the DLT VS80 tape drive.
