How do I connect the drive to my server?

The recommended way of connecting a tape drive to your HP or non-HP SAS server, is to purchase
and install one of the supported HBAs. Always refer to
BEFORE you
install your tape drive to ensure that you are connecting to a supported HBA running the recommended
firmware version. Be sure to check the details of the specific tape drive and server combination that
you require.
Internal drives

internal SAS controller or SAS host bus adapter.
