doors in place.
Use the following guidelines when configuring your
SCSI cables:
• Use the highest quality SCSI cables. Bus errors
caused by excessive length or poor quality
cables can significantly degrade performance
and reliability.
f. Remove and discard the
pull-tabs used to block
the latch mechanism
when closing the doors.
Retaining screws
g. Secure the front panel
• Each tape drive in the library (and the library
controller) is a separate SCSI target. When
more than one device is connected to the same
bus, each separate device must be assigned a
unique SCSI ID.

screws and then close the doors.
Note: Two-drive libraries require four
retaining screws; four-drive libraries
require two retaining screws.

• SCSI IDs are set at the factory. Use the GUI touch
screen to change any of the factory defaults.
• To connect a library to a host, the host must have at
least one Wide LVD/SE controller and the appropriate
driver software.
• For best performance, do not attach more than two
drives per bus. A maximum of one tape drive per bus
is recommended for Ultrium 460 and 960 tape drives.
• HP recommends that the robot and drive 0
be attached to host bus 0.
• For Windows servers, power on the library before
powering on the server.
