PowerEge 1750

Question

Hi

I have a DELL PowerEdge 1750. I am purchasing the Certance CD 40 Desktop tape drive for the system. The Interface type on the DELL stated it uses an external 68-pin VHDC SCSI port. While the tape drive uses Ultra2 SCSI LVD. Are these two ports compatible or do I have to purchase a CABLE or Connector to interface to allow the two port ends to be compatible.

Thanks

Hi,

The correct part number for the cable is 8948X. It is a 68 pin Very High Density (VHDC) to 68 pin High Density cable (smaller at one end).

Dell spare parts can be reached by phone at 1-800-357-3355.

Note: If you have the optional Perc 4/di installed, ensure the second channel is set to SCSI in the System BIOS.

Thanks for using the Dell Community Forums!
