Installing and Configuring the
5257ACL Tape Drive
This section includes these topics:
Connecting the Power Cord
1. Check that the power is off (the LCD screen is blank and no lights are illuminated).
2. Connect the power cord to the 5257ACL power receptacle, and check that it is fully
seated.
3. Connect the other end of the power cord to a nearby AC outlet.
Installing the SCSI Cables
The tape drive connects to a SCSI bus and supports only the differential alternative.
All NonStop Himalaya systems should have either the SCSI ports labeled or the
international symbols displayed to indicate the electrical configuration for that port.

Caution. The 5257ACL drive does not have protection against lightning surges. For this
reason, those customers located in high-risk areas should use external surge protection rated
for use in their location and be able to handle the power demand of the tape drive cabinet.
Note. Term Power is not supplied by the tape drive; it must be supplied by the Host Bus
Adapter card.
