How do I connect the drive to my server?
Installation requires a SAS host controller or host bus adapter (HBA) that supports tape.
NOTE:
All non-HP servers require an additional HBA.
The recommended way of connecting a tape drive to your HP or non-HP SAS server, is to purchase
and install one of the supported HBAs. Always refer to the HP Storage SPOCK website at
BEFORE you install your tape drive to ensure that you are connecting
to a supported HBA running the recommended firmware version. Be sure to check the details of
the specific tape drive and server combination that you require. See
for more information about using SPOCK.
Internal drives
The tape drive is installed into a spare drive bay in your server and is attached to the host server's
internal SAS controller or SAS host bus adapter.
You need one industry-standard, 5¼-inch, half-height bay in which to install the HP LTO Ultrium
tape drive. Different models of server require different mounting methods. Refer to your server
documentation for detailed information. See also
Installing an internal LTO Ultrium tape
.
The cable supplied with the tape drive is suitable for connecting to a mini-SAS (SFF-8086/8087)
connector on a dedicated HBA or on the server's SAS controller. If your server has a SAS 4i
connector (SFF-8484), a suitable cable is available, but must be purchased separately.
NOTE:
Power for the LTO–6 Ultrium 6250 and LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 tape drive is supplied through
the SAS cable. For all earlier models of tape drive, a separate power cable is required, see
