Cabling Libraries With
SAS Tape Drives 12
Each SAS tape drive should be connected directly to the host bus adapter
(HBA) using one SAS cable. The LTO-4 and LTO-5 SAS tape drives in the
Scalar i500 library use the SFF-8088 type SAS connector. The connector
needed on the host end of the cable depends on the type of Host Bus
Adapter (HBA) being used.
