External tape drives
External tape drives must be connected to an external port. The cable supplied with the tape drive is
suitable for connecting to an External Mini SAS High Density (SFF-8644) port on a dedicated HBA
(recommended) or the host SAS Smart Array controller. If your server has an external mini SAS
(SFF-8088) or Infiniband (SFF-8470) connector, a suitable cable is available, and must be purchased
separately.
