The NetMAX interface presently only knows how to control SCSI-based tape backup units.
You must have one of these devices in order to use the NetMAX backup facility.

If you have one of these devices and it is not being detected, make sure that you have properly configured your SCSI chain:

    Ensure that there are no duplicate device Ids.
    Ensure that the chain is properly terminated.

Also, make sure that the power to your backup unit is plugged in and that the tape unit is on.
