Hello, Based on your current setup that is working for you if all you are changing is the tape drive then yes it will work without any issue.  What you will need to purchase with the tape drive is a SAS 6gb controller so the tape drive can be seen by the server.  Also you will need to make sure that the SAS 6gb controller goes into the 8x PCIe slot and not a 4X slot as when in the 4X slot it can cause some problems.  I have also included a link to our Compatibility matrix which shows the server and all tape drives and controller cards that will work in that server. <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hey everyone, My department is looking to upgrade our PV LTO-3 to a LTO-4 but we're not sure if the LTO-4 will be compatible with the server/software setup we have currently.  I was just curious if anyone knew whether or not the LTO-4 would be compatible with this software: As you can see, some of this stuff is a little old, and we want to be positive that the LTO-4 will work before we purchase it.  Any suggestions would also be greatly appreciated.
