Cabling Libraries With
SAS Tape Drives
12
Each SAS tape drive should be connected directly to the host bus adapter
(HBA) using one SAS cable. The LTO-4 and LTO-5 SAS tape drives in the
Dell PowerVault ML6000 library use the SFF-8088 type SAS connector.
The connector needed on the host end of the cable depends on the type of
Host Bus Adapter (HBA) being used.
The library does not support daisy-chaining SAS cables. The library does
not support the use of SAS expander devices or cables at this time.
