Figure 7

Installing tape drive

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.

Attach power and SCSI cables

To support the high performance of the tape drive it is important that you connect to a

recommended SCSI bus and use a suitably-rated SCSI cable, see ”

Why is the SCSI bus type

important?

” on page 10.

1.

Check your server or HBA documentation to ensure that the SCSI bus and cabling supports up to

Ultra160 bus speeds. We recommend that you attach the SCSI ribbon cable supplied with the

tape drive to the SCSI host bus adapter.

2.

Attach a spare power cable from the server's internal power supply to the power connector, as

shown in

Figure 8

.

3.

Attach a spare connector on the server's built-in SCSI bus or HBA’s SCSI ribbon cable to the

SCSI connector of the drive, as shown in

Figure 8
