The Purpose of this Manual

This is one of five volumes that document HP Ultrium drives. This volume

provides background information for driver and application developers. The

following products are covered. Capacities are when the drive is using data

compression with a compression ratio of 2:1, where applicable:

■HP Ultrium Generation 2 Full-Height SCSI Internal Drive

■HP Ultrium Generation 2 Full Height FC Internal Drive

Note Throughout this manual frequent reference is made to SCSI

commands. For more information on SCSI commands for

HP Ultrium drives see volume 3, the SCSI Interface, of the

HP Ultrium Technical Reference Manual. Ordering details are

given below.
