How can I check the SCSI bus type and SCSI ID?

For many operating systems, you can install HP Library & Tape Tools from www.hp.com/ support/tapetools and run the “Install Check” to check your server’s current SCSI configuration (see page 37). This will provide information about the SCSI bus and the SCSI IDs in use. See also the SCSI topic in the electronic User’s Guide on the

HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM for other ways of checking the SCSI bus type.

Do I need additional items for installation?

•If you have an HD rather than a VHD, wide, SCSI connector on your server, you will need to purchase and install a VHD-to-HD adapter or use an HD-to-HD cable instead of the supplied cable.

•If you do not have a spare, suitably-rated SCSI connector on your server, you must install a new HBA (also known as a SCSI card). This should be of an Ultra Wide or higher SCSI specification. We recommend that a 64-bit Ultra 3 (160) HBA is used. For specific details relevant to your server model please refer to www.hp.com/go/connect. You will need to purchase and install the new HBA into an unused, 64-bit PCI expansion slot within your server before installing your autoloader. (The kit can also be installed in a 32-bit PCI expansion slot, but performance may be degraded.)
