Installation and Configuration
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:
Note: For best performance, an LVD connection is recommended.
