Figure 8 Installing tape drive

NOTE:

The illustration shows a server that uses mounting rails. If your server does not use mounting hardware,
check that the holes in the chassis are aligned with the holes in the side of the tape drive.

Do not secure the drive at this point because you may have to move the drive to get the cables into
place.

Connect SAS and power cords

There are three options for connecting the tape drive. Each is described separately in this section.

•

Connect to a dedicated HBA (recommended)

•

Connect to a spare port on the host controller (recommended)

•

If both ports on the host controller are in use, replace one of the existing cables with the supplied
SAS cable (not recommended, use this option with care)

Supplied SAS cable

Power is supplied from the SAS connector on the SAS cable supplied with HP StorageWorks LTO-5
Ultrium 3000 tape drives.
