I have connected the provided SAS cable, one end to the back of the tape drive and the other, internal SAS connector to the spare connector on the E200 controller. The other connector has four 146GB SCSI HDDs attached to it.
I've downloaded and installed the drivers (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=3663381&swItem=MTX-4a9450876a3b452483a84a3895&prodNameId=3663388&swEnvOID=1005&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=1) and they installed without issue.
My problem is that the system does not recognize the tape drive. It does not appear in my device manager or anywhere else. Have I missed something here? Am I supposed to do something else for the server to recognize the drive??
Thanks,
zu

SolutionSmart Array controllers do not normally support tape drives.
The only one Im aware of is the Smart 5i and 6i, but even then I wouldn't recommend it.
You'll need an ordinary SAS Controller NOT a SAS Array controller to attach the tape drive to.

Re: ML 150 G3 and LTO 1760 tape drive
I was not aware of that - I was under the impression that if the card supported SAS, it would just work, regardless of device. Obviously, I was wrong :(
I have a spare Dell PERC 6iR SAS RAID controller card (http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=bsd&sku=403-10274&cs=ukbsdt1&dgc=SS&cid=5186&lid=121454). Do you think it would do the trick? Would it work with an HP?
Thank you very much for your help!

Plus that also sounds like an array controller.
Official supported optional 'normal' SAS HBAs for this model can be found here (under Storage Controllers)...
