Connecting the SCSI Tape Drive 

3

In addition to the contents included with your external tape drive, you 

need the following items to install your external SCSI tape drive:

• A SCSI host bus adapter that is properly installed and configured in a 

host computer

• Backup application software that supports the external tape drive. 

For a list of the latest backup software applications tested with the 

external DAT 160 tape drives, please visit our Web site at

.

It is important to ensure that you connect your drive to a 

USB 2.0 port. The drive will work on a USB 1.1 port but 

performance will be severely degraded.
