Connecting a SCSI Tape Drive to a SCSI Controller Card

Ensure that all cables are firmly connected and arranged so that they do not catch on the
computer covers or block airflow inside the system.

Close the system. See "Closing the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."

Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached
peripherals.

Test the drive:
•

If you installed an IDE drive, run the IDE devices tests in the system diagnostics to
determine whether the tape drive operates properly. See "Running System Diagnostics."

•

If you installed a SCSI drive, run the SCSI controllers test in the system diagnostics. See
"Running System Diagnostics."

•

If you installed a tape drive, see the tape drive software documentation to perform a
backup and verification test.
