How can I check the SCSI bus type and SCSI ID?, Table 2 Supported SCSI bus types

Page 15 highlights

NOTE: The drives are not compatible with high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices. Table 2 Supported SCSI bus types SCSI Bus Type Supported Ultra160 LVD, Ultra320 LVD Yes. These are recommended configurations. Ultra2 LVD, Ultra Wide LVD Yes. These are supported, but performance may be impaired. Ultra wide, single-ended Yes. But this is not a recommended configuration as it will restrict performance. Ultra narrow, single-ended Yes. But this is not recommended as it will severely restrict performance and you will need a suitable cable or adapter. High Voltage Differential No. The drive will not work and you may damage the drive or controller How can I check the SCSI bus type and SCSI ID? For many operating systems, you can install and run HP Library & Tape Tools from either the HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM or http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools to check your server's current SCSI configuration (see also "Diagnostic tools" on page 55. This will provide information about the SCSI bus and the SCSI IDs in use. DAT SCSI Tape Drives 15
