SCSI Bus Requirements 0
You must connect the autoloader to one of the following
SCSI bus types:
• Ultra 320 SCSI-3, LVD SE SCSI bus
• Ultra 160 SCSI-3, LVD SE SCSI bus
General Information 0
Your SCSI host adaptor card must also support the SCSI bus
type used to connect the autoloader. If you use a LVD SCSI
bus, use a host adapter card with a connection for a high-
density (HD) 68-pin cable.

N
OTE: The autoloader is not compatible with a
High-voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI bus.
N
OTE: If you use a single-ended (SE) SCSI bus, the tape
drive’s performance is limited to the maximum data
transfer speed of the bus.
The maximum number of autoloaders supported per
SCSI bus is two.
The autoloader may not work with multiple SCSI
LUNS when attached to a RAID controller. The
autoloader is not recommended for use with a RAID
controller. If this problem occurs, it is recommended
that the autoloader be attached to a separate SCSI
bus controller on the host or server.
Choosing a Location 0
The autoloader is designed to fit in a standard 19-inch rack
using either the long or short brackets (depending on the
depth of the rack), or the optional rail kit. Choose a location
that meets the following criteria. The autoloader uses
standard rack mounting hardware.
