Installing a SCSI tape drive in a 2.5-inch model server This section provides procedures for installing a SCSI tape drive, such as the IBM DDS Generation 5 Internal Tape Drive. The tape drive connects to a PCI-X SCSI adapter in slot 1 of the riser-card assembly. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for the list of supported SCSI tape drives and compatible PCI-X SCSI adapters. The cables for the tape drive come with the tape drive option. Hook-and-loop fastener SCSI terminator SCSI signal cable SCSI adapter connector Tape drive connector Signal cable Power cable To install a SCSI tape drive in a 2.5-inch model server, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 23. 2. If you installed the space filler from the tape drive option onto the tape drive assembly, remove it now. 3. Remove the filler panel from the tape drive bay. 4. Remove the server cover. 5. Remove the riser-card assembly (see "Removing the riser-card assembly" on page 26). 6. Remove the air baffle (see "Removing the air baffle" on page 29). 48 System x3655 Type 7985: User's Guide
