Dell PowerVault LTO5-140 - Manual (Page 31)

Step 2 — Connecting Power
An external Dell PowerVault LTO5-140HH Tape Drive will operate using any voltage in the range 100–240 volts (50–60 Hz). No adjustment is needed. To connect
your drive to the power supply, proceed as follows:
1. Plug the power cable securely into the socket on the rear panel of the drive. (See number 1 in Figure 5 .)
2. Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded power outlet.
3. Power on the tape drive by pressing the power on/off button (see number 1 in
Figure 12 .) The tape drive runs the POST, which checks all hardware except the
drive head.
Step 3 — Connecting the SAS Cable
Attach one end of the SAS cable to the SAS host adapter card installed in the system. Attach the other end of the SAS cable to the SAS connector on the rear panel
of the tape drive (see number 2 in
Figure 5 ). The cable can be up to 5 m (16.4 ft) long. This configuration is shown in Figure 11.

5. Tape drive
To connect a second system to the tape drive, attach one end of the second SAS cable to the SAS host adaptor installed in the second system. Attach the other end of
the second SAS cable to the other SAS port on the rear panel of the tape drive. This configuration is shown in Figure 12, "Connecting two SAS Devices."

Note: Unlike SCSI, the SAS architecture does not support connecting multiple tape drives to a single SAS host adapter.
Step 4 — Configuring the Tape Drive to the Host
Power on the tape drive. Refer to your system and application software manuals to configure the tape drive for use.
Loading Device Drivers
Microsoft Windows Server
This section describes how to install the Microsoft Windows Server Device Drivers for the tape drive.
NOTICE: Some backup software applications do not require device drivers to be loaded and, in some cases, installing device drivers could interfere with proper
functioning of the application. See the documentation for the respective application prior to loading these drivers.
