Removing and Installing an Internal Tape Drive
8
Route the tape drive's interface cable through the tape drive cable retention bracket. See Figure 3-25.
9
Connect the tape drive interface cable to the drive controller connector:
•
For a SCSI tape drive, connect the cable to the port on the SCSI controller card in the expansion
slot.
•
For a SATA tape drive, connect to either the SATA_A or SATA_B on-board SATA ports. See
Figure 6-2 for the connector locations on the system board.
10
Connect the tape drive power cable to the tape drive power connector on the backplane. See Figure 6-3
for the connector location.
11
Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached
peripherals.
12
Perform a tape backup and verification test with the drive as instructed in the software documentation
that came with the drive.
Removing and Replacing the Tape Drive Cable Retention Bracket
The optional SCSI tape drive connects to the system board through an expansion card plugged into one
of the PCIe expansion card slots. The SCSI tape drive cable is routed along the right side of the chassis
and behind the tape drive cable retention bracket.
