add a new hardware


I want to connect a external tape drive to a RH linux server ( via external SCSI card ) , can the RH server automatically detect the external device ? if not , do I need to install the driver to it ? or anything I need to do to make it work ? thx

Usually Lunux handles SCSI devices quite well. Otherwise the SCSI kernel will solve all

Redhat's Kudzu hardware detection should detect a generic tape drive very well. I'd doubt you'll have to do anything to get it running.
