All SCSI tape drives do not require any drivers for it. You just need to know which SCSI host adapter that you are connecting it to. Check which SCSI host adapter you have / buy and make sure you have the correct drivers available for you OpenServer 5 level. There were / are several levels of OpenServer 5 and some drivers are not always available for each level.
