Antonio,
You should bring your E280R to the OBP level and od a probe-scsi-all. If you do
not see any of the drive nor the library, then you have a SCSI connectivity
problem.
Beware that the onboard SCSI connector is SE *not* LVD. Therefore if your cables
are over 3 meters you won't be able to see any tape drive/robot. If you do, you
are very lucky. Now, if you have a LVD HBA in the E280R I send you back to to
the probe-scsi-all.
