Install drive and connect power cable Slide the tape drive into the open bay, aligning the tray or rails with the slots in the bay, as shown in Figure 8 on page 24. Figure 8 Installing tape drive If your server does not use mounting hardware, check that the holes in the chassis are aligned with the holes in the side of the tape drive. Do not secure the drive at this point because you may have to move the drive to get the cables into place. Attach power and SCSI cables To support the high performance of the tape drive it is important that you connect to a recommended SCSI bus and use a suitably-rated SCSI cable, see "Why is the SCSI bus type important?" on page 14. 1. Check your server or HBA documentation to ensure that the SCSI bus and cabling supports up to Ultra160 bus speeds. We recommend that you attach the SCSI ribbon cable supplied with the tape drive to the SCSI host bus adapter. 2. Attach a spare power cable from the server's internal power supply to the power connector, as shown in Figure 9 on page 25. 3. Attach a spare connector on the server's built-in SCSI bus or HBA's SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI connector of the drive, as shown in Figure 9 on page 25. 4. If the drive is the last device on the SCSI chain, make sure that the SCSI cable is terminated correctly. 24 Installing an internal DAT tape drive

Install drive and connect power cable
Slide the tape drive into the open bay, aligning the tray or rails with the slots in the bay, as shown in
Figure 8
on page 24.
Figure 8 Installing tape drive
If your server does not use mounting hardware, check that the holes in the chassis are aligned with
the holes in the side of the tape drive.
Do not secure the drive at this point because you may have to move the drive to get the cables into place.
Attach power and SCSI cables
To support the high performance of the tape drive it is important that you connect to a recommended
SCSI bus and use a suitably-rated SCSI cable, see “
Why is the SCSI bus type important?
” on page 14.
1.
Check your server or HBA documentation to ensure that the SCSI bus and cabling supports up to
Ultra160 bus speeds. We recommend that you attach the SCSI ribbon cable supplied with the tape
drive to the SCSI host bus adapter.
2.
Attach a spare power cable from the server’s internal power supply to the power connector, as
shown in
Figure 9
on page 25.
3.
Attach a spare connector on the server’s built-in SCSI bus or HBA’s SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI
connector of the drive, as shown in
Figure 9
on page 25.
4.
If the drive is the last device on the SCSI chain, make sure that the SCSI cable is terminated correctly.
