• Multi-mode rated SCSI cabling and terminators. Multi-mode terminators allow both LVD and
single-ended devices to be connected to the same bus. They detect the type of bus and
automatically supply the corre ct termination. The LVD interface enables the data to be transferred
at the drive’s maximum rate.
The autoloader is also supported on SE SCSI, but this will limit cable length and may degrade
performance. Similarly, if there are SE devices attached to an LVDS bus, the autoloader’s performance is
limited to the maximum data transfer speed and maximum cable lengths of the SE bus. If necessary,
install a SCSI host adapter, software, and compatible driver(s). Refer to the manuals for the host computer
and the SCSI host adapter for detailed information.
Table 3 Supported SCSI bus t ypes
SCSI Bus Type
Supported
Ultra160 LVD, Ultra32 0 LVD
Yes.These are recommended configurations.
Ultra2 LVD, Ultra Wide LVD
Yes.
Ultra wide, single-ended
Yes.
Ultra narrow, single-ended
Yes.
Fast, single-ended
Not recomm ended. This will degrade performance and limit cable
length.
High Voltage D ifferential
No. The drive will not work and you may damage the drive or controller
IMPORTANT:
The HP StorageWorks DAT 72x10 1U Tape Autoloader in NOT compatible with a standard differential
(Diff) or High-Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI bus. This autoloader IS compatible with a narrow (50-pin)
SCSI bus using a 68-pin to 50-pin adapter that terminates the unused 18 pins (Not included with the
autoloader). These adapters are sometimes labeled high-byte termination.
LUN scanning
TheHPStorageWorksDAT 72x10 1UTapeAutoloaderusesasingle SCSI ID anddualLUNstocontrol
the
tape drive (LUN 0) and autoloader robotic (LUN 1) . The autoloader requires an HBA that supports
LUN scanning. If it is not enabled, your host system will not scan beyond LUN 0 and will fail to discover
the
autoloader. It will just see the tape drive.
Some HBAs,suchasRAIDcontrollers,donot support LUNscanning. For themostup-to-dateSCSIHBA
compatibility information, refer to w
ww.hp.com/go/connect.
Preparing the host
IMPORTANT:
Use proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and anti-static
mats when handing internal components.
Follow these general guidelines:
•
If necessary, install a suitably rated HBA, see “SCSI requirements” on page 13. Remember that if
there are any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE
speed
and severely degrade performance and limit cable length.
• Ma ke sure that your backup application and SCSI host bus adapter are compatible with the
autoloader.
• If the host server is conne cted to a n et work, check with the system adm inistrator before turning
off
power.
