If the internal port on the host SAS controller has a mini-SAS connector, use the supplied cable. This
is a split cable, but the second branch is not required. Do NOT remove the tie wrap and cover on
the spare connector. If the internal port on the host SAS controller has an Infiniband-style connector,
you must purchase a separate cable.
Always refer to http://www.hp.com/go/connect BEFORE installing your tape drive to check that this
configuration is supported and which cable you require.
