Preparation

Make sure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). See Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for additional information. You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for rackmount installations.

SCSI Bus Requirements

The autoloader contains a SCSI interface that supports both Single Ended (SE) and Low Voltage Differential (LVD) communication, however, data transfer rates and SCSI cable lengths will be reduced if an SE connection is used. The autoloader is not compatible with a High Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI bus.

The following SCSI host adapter cards are currently supported on the autoloader:
