Sorry for the late summary: Thanks very much for all the replies. Problem: cannot connect L9 autoloader to E420R on-board SCSI adapter Solution: install a differential SCSI card on PCI slot and connect Detail(from Tony.Walsh@Sun.COM, which I think is a very summarized one): The onboard SCSI connector on the E420R is for a Single Ended SCSI controller, not a Differential SCSI controller of either type (LVD or HVD). The L9 library (according to what you have indicated) contains a High Voltage Differential SCSI controller (which really means all the connectors on the L9 are HVD connections). Now if the L9 had an LVD controller installed instead, then you could attach the library to the E420R SE controller as SE SCSI and LVD SCSI are compatible (although you will loose some functionality as throughput will be limited and cable length will be limited to 1.5m in practice). HVD and SE SCSI are NOT compatible and if you are not very careful, connecting an HVD controller to a SE controller could cause physical damage. What you need is an X6541A Dual Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI (UDWIS/P)(HVD) PCI card PN 375-0006 with the appropriate cables to connect the L9.
