Digi Neo 8

USB Devices
1

OS: Windows 2003 server
Driver: 8.0.20.0

Before I get started i want you to know that i have never dealt with SCSI or tape drives at all

I was given:
HP Rack Mounted Server (windows 2003)
Hp Ultrium 232 Internal Tape Drive
Hp Rack mounted tape drive encloser
Compaq cable to cnonect the tape drive encloser to the hp server & digi card (scsi connection on 1 end digi connection on the other)

I have installed the digi card in the hp server (as it has no scsi connections). I have installed the tape drive in the tape drive encloser. I connected all of the cables (tape drive to what i believe is the scsi cable, cable to connecter at the back of the encloser (scsi) connector to the compaq cable (scsi end), other end of the cable to the digi card(digi neo 8 connector). and installed the dig neo 8 into the computer).

Now, im stuck. I can see the neo card in the device manager and it has the correct drivers. How can i get the OS to see the tape drive at the other end?

Thanks for any and all help

Sorry, this will not work. The Digi Neo provides rs232 serial interfaces, NOT a SCSI interface, such as what is needed for the SCSI tape unit.
Several of the Neo adapters use the HD 68 pin connector to provide these rs232 connections via a fan out cable or connection block.
You will need to install a SCSI host adapter to connect to you tape unit.
