Configuration Question

[Vito Sarducci]

I would like to add an exabyte 8205xl 8mm tape drive to my G70 running 11.x. I am wondering if I can use my SCSI port on my scsi/console/aux card, and if so, how do I do this. What do i need to do without panic'ing the box.

Please advise?

You should bring your sytem down first, especially since it's the "core IO" card. You'll need the proper scsi cable and terminator. Boot the system, do an ioscan. If the device is claimed and the drivers are set, then you are ready to rock. If not, you'll need to go into sam and add the device drivers.
