Step 2 - Connecting Power An external Dell PowerVault Tape Drive will operate using any voltage in the range 100-240 volts (50-60 Hz). No adjustment is needed. To connect your drive to the power supply, proceed as follows: 1. Plug the power cable securely into the socket on the rear panel of the drive. 2. Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded power outlet. 3. Power on the tape drive by pressing the power on/off button. The tape drive runs the POST, which checks all hardware except the drive head. Step 3 - Connecting the SAS Cable Attach one end of the SAS cable to the SAS host adapter card installed in the system. Attach the other end of the SAS cable to the SAS connector on the rear panel of the tape drive. The cable can be up to 5 m (16.4 ft) long. This configuration is shown in Figure 11. Figure 11.
