Trouble about installing Ultrium 460

[Dario Alfonso]

Hi, my company recently bought an HP Ultrium 460 tape autolader.
I´ve tried to connect it to an Adaptec 29160 internal SCSI card, but it´s not recognized.
My backup server is an IBM server model 8671-4AX running Windows 2000 Server SP4 in English. My OS recognizes the Adaptec SCSI card, and I´ve installed the latest drivers. The autoloader is the only device connected to the SCSI card and it´s properly terminated.
But when I boot my server and go to the Adaptec SCSI configuration utility embedded, the Ultrium autoloader is not recognized.
I´ve tried to recognize it just turning on the autoloader first, and then the server, but the tests were unsuccessful. Even the HP Library Tape and Tools Utility doesn´t recognize the autolader.
The SCSI ID of my autoloader is the default and the SCSI ID of my Adaptec SCSI card is 7.
The SCSI cord I´m using to connect this device is an external LVD/SE cord with 68 pin connectors on both sides. This cord is OK because I´ve installed another devices and worked OK.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,

DARIO

The adaptec 29160 is the recommended scsi card for the LTO 460.
Does the OS see the drive and/or autoloader?
Does the scsi bios see the drive and/or autoloader?
What model is this unit? Do you have a part number?

Hi everybody,
I just wanna notify you my trouble was solved.
I was using an incorrect terminator, my provider got the right one, an external LVD/SE terminator.
Thanks to everybody who helped me.
