We have an IBM System Storage TS2900 (3572-S3H LTO Ultrium 3) which we would like to use with our x3650 M4 server for backups. I just need to know which cables and/or other hardware we need to make them work together. It looks like the TS2900 has a Mini-SAS (SFF-8088) connector and uses a SFF-8088 or SFF-8470 at the host adapter end. Does this mean I need to buy an adapter for the x3650 M4? Thanks.
