Step 1: Inspect and Prepare the Tape Drive
a. Inspect the shipping box for damage. If you find any damage, report it to the shipping
company immediately.
Note: Save the packing materials in case you need to move or ship the tape drive. You must ship
the tape drive in the original or equivalent packing materials to preserve your warranty.
b. Select a server or workstation to host your tape drive. Shut down and power off the host and
all peripheral devices attached to the selected host.
c. Change the SCSI ID for your tape drive, if necessary. See Figure 1. Use the SCSI jumpers to
set the SCSI ID. For complete instructions, see the Installation and Operations Guide.
d. Remove the cover from the server or workstation as described in the server or workstation’s
manual. If necessary, install an LVD/SE host bus adapter in the server or workstation.
Step 2: Install the Tape Drive
a. Install your tape drive in a half-height drive bay. See Figure 2.
b. Connect an active LVD/SE terminator onto one end of your SCSI cable, if your tape drive is
the last or only device on the SCSI bus. See Figure 3. If the SCSI cable that came with your SCSI
host bus adapter already has a terminator built into it, do not use an additional terminator.
Note: If the tape drive is not the last or only device on the SCSI bus, make sure the last device on
the SCSI bus is properly terminated and is powered on whenever you use your tape drive.
c. Connect the SCSI cable to the tape drive and to the SCSI host bus adapter. Connect the power
cable to your tape drive. See Figure 4.
d. Secure the tape drive in the selected server or workstation with the appropriate mounting
screws. See Figure 5. Contact your computer manufacturer if the server or workstation uses
mounting rails for internal tape drives.
e. Re-install the cover on the server or workstation. Re-connect the power cables to any attached
peripheral devices.
f. Power on any attached peripheral devices.
g. Power on the server or workstation and allow its operating system to start.
