Installing the Tape Drive

Install the four screws that secure the bottom of the drive to the drive
sled (see Figure 1-1).

Configuring the Drive Sled for Single-Ended Operation

The 8505XL drive sled assembly houses a SCSI channel adapter board. You
must ensure that the drive sled assembly is set to single-ended operation.

Caution:

Use proper handling and storage procedures to minimize the loss

of data and equipment. In particular, do not remove disk drives while they
are operating. Always power off the system before removing a front-loading
drive (FLD). Be sure to use standard electrostatic discharge prevention
precautions when removing, storing, transporting, or replacing an FLD.

To determine the sled board settings, do the following:

•

Be sure the sled-to-drive connector cable is plugged into the correct
SCSI channel. Single-ended is A; differential is B. Plug the cable to
channel A (see Figure 1-3).

•

Set both jumper blocks H1 and H2 on the sled board to reflect the SCSI
channel operation, regardless of which channel is plugged into the
drive.
