Requirements 2
You must connect the SuperLoader to one of the following SCSI bus
types:
•Wide, SCSI-2, LVD
•SE SCSI bus
Your SCSI host adapter card must also support the SCSI bus type used to
connect the SuperLoader. If you use a LVD SCSI bus, use a host adapter
card with a connection for the VHDCI cable.
Accessories 2 The following accessories are shipped with each SuperLoader:
• Quick Start Guide
• SCSI host cable
•SCSI terminator
• Hardware to rack mount the SuperLoader
• One magazine blank

Note: The SuperLoader is not compatible with a High-Voltage
Differential (HVD) SCSI bus.
Note: If you use an SE SCSI bus, the tape drive’s performance is
limited to the maximum data transfer speed of the bus.
Note: The maximum number of SuperLoaders supported per SCSI
bus is four.
Note: The SuperLoader may not work with multiple SCSI LUNS
when attached to a RAID controller. The SuperLoader is not
recommended for use with a RAID controller. If this problem
occurs, it is recommended that the SuperLoader be attached to
a separate SCSI bus controller on the host or server.
