Tape drives that require their own separate controller cards are shipped with the controller card and an interface cable. Install the drive in an external drive bay by performing the following steps: Refer to the documentation accompanying the tape drive and the card. If the card incorporates jumpers or switches that must be set to work with the system, verify or change the settings as necessary. See "Removing the Computer Covers" in Chapter 7. If necessary, you can adjust drive alignment by repositioning one or both rails. See "Installing an Expansion Card" in Chapter 8. If other installed drives are in the way, disengage them by pressing in on the plastic drive rails at the front of the bay, and slide them slightly toward the front of the chassis. Refer to "DC Power Cables" found earlier in this chapter to determine which DC power cable connector to use. Plug the DC power cable connector into the 4-pin power input connector on the back of the drive. Refer to the controller card's documentation to identify the controller connector on the card. See "Removing and Replacing Front-Panel Inserts" found earlier in this chapter. 9-8 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
