• SCSI IDs are set at the factory. Use the GUI touch
screen to change any of the factory defaults.
• To connect a library to a host, the host must have at
least one Wide LVD/SE controller and the appropriate
driver software.
• For best performance, do not attach more than two
drives per bus. A maximum of one tape drive per bus
is recommended for Ultrium 460 and 960 tape drives.
• HP recommends that the robot and drive 0
be attached to host bus 0.
• For Windows servers, power on the library before
powering on the server.
