Inserting the Drive Module

5 Tighten the four thumbscrews on the drive module until it is flush with the chassis.
6 Recable the tape library.

For SCSI, connect the drives to the host using SCSI cables and terminate the bus.

For native FC, use an FC cable with an LC connector to attach the LTO-3 drive to an FC
host bus adapter or switch. Be sure that the connector on the other end of the FC cable
matches the device to which the LTO-3 drive is being attached.

7 Reconnect the tape library to an electrical outlet.
