Problem Detecting Compaq DLT 35/70

[Ayman Altounji]

I have a DL580 with quad xeon 700mhz processors and over 4 gig of RAM. I have installed a Compaq 3200 Array controller and connected the internal drive cage to it. I have removed the internal cable and terminator off the integrated controller.

My problem is that when I connect a tape drive to the integrated Array controller the tape drive is not detected at boot time on the bios or under the OS.

I have replaced the Tape Drive and changed the scsi id with no success.

Any Ideas?

Are you installing this INTERNALLY on that controller (not supported)? If so, remove the integrated array controller module and then try the DLT.

Have you found the solution for your problem? In the same configuration I got bus termination error from SystemConfigurationUtility, and server cannot find DLT 35/70.
