External Tape Drive Storage Devices
Optional external tape drive mass storage devices can be connected to the ProLiant
DL760 G2 server by using an external VHDCI SCSI connector.

running up to Ultra3 speeds.

instructions.
3. If the server was not powered down in the previous step, power down the server
(refer to Chapter 7).
4. Disconnect the power cords from the server.
5. If the external storage device is on, disconnect the power to the device.
6. Connect one end of the SCSI cable to the external VHDCI SCSI connector on the
rear panel of the server.
