1. Maximum supported speeds may be limited by installation of lower speed devices, controllers or cable lengths greater than two meters.
2. Rack installation cable management requires devices to have a minimum cable length of two meters. Cable length requirements will vary based on placement within a single or multiple
rack suite.
3. Maximum speeds may be limited by the installed devices or SCSI controller.
4. Daisy chaining tape enclosures is not supported at this time.
5. The 3600 Series Tape Libraries (rack or tower) support up to two Expander Modules (P/N 3600LXU). 3600 Series Tape Libraries and Expander Module are shipped with a 2M M68-M0.8
external SCSI Cable (P/N 01K8027).
6. Requires 68-pin External Multimode LVD/SE SCSI Terminator (P/N 00N7956).
7. NetMEDIA Systems Management Adapter (P/N 10L7113) may be installed in a 3551001 to provide repeater function, LVDS interface, aggregate cable lengths up to 12 meters when
attached to an LVD SCSI controller, and auto-termination when the 3551001 is powered off. External connector is 0.8mm VHDCI.
8. Cable lengths exceeding 4.3 meters are NOT supported for attachment to non-Ultra2 or Ultra160 controllers.
9. Maximum speeds may be limited by the enclosure or its installed devices.
10. Supports attachment to Ultra2 or single-ended SCSI controllers with operational speeds of up to Ultra2. Controller, storage unit, cable length or storage device limitations may apply (see
Max MB/sec row and column above).
11. EXP300 (P/N 35311RU) includes a single 2M Ultra2 SCSI cable similar to Netfinity 2M Ultra2 SCSI Cable (P/N 03K9310).
12. No external SCSI port is available on these systems. A supported optional controller must be installed. See the systems section to determine which controllers and external storage units
are supported then refer back to this table for cable requirements using the controller row.
13. Not supported for use in a rack. Rack installations require a minimum cable length of two meters.
