1. Attach the other end of the SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI host adapter. 1 2 Figure 8: Connecting tape drive to the host bus adapter (HBA) Installing the external tape drive Connecting a single drive Note: An LVD/SE SCSI host adapter must be present in the server. Daisy-chaining Note: To daisy-chain, you must purchase additional cables. Refer to the Quick Specs at http://www.hp.com for cable option part numbers. 6 in. Figure 9: Preparing the external drive for installation Setting the SCSI ID Caution: Do not use a pencil; small bits of lead could contaminate the drive. 01234567 Figure 10: Settting the SCSI ID Note: When setting the SCSI ID: ■ Make sure that each SCSI device on a SCSI bus has a unique SCSI ID. ■ Do not use SCSI ID 7. It is reserved for the controller. ■ If the drive is powered on when you change the SCSI ID, you must power the drive off and on again for the new SCSI ID to take effect. 2 1 Figure 11: Connecting a single internal tape drive 1 SCSI cable 2 Power cord Caution: Failure to remove power from all devices could result in damage to the DLT VS80 tape drive or other devices. Note: Your server may differ from the following illustrations; refer to the documentation included with your server. 3 1 3 2 Figure 12: Connecting a single external drive 1 SCSI cable 3 SCSI terminator 2 Power Cord WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed for connection to a grounded (earthed) power outlet. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. 1 2 3 Figure 13: Daisy-chaning tape drives 1 SCSI cable 3 SCSI terminator 2 Power cords Note: Each tape drive in the daisy-chain must have a unique SCSI ID. See "Setting the SCSI ID." Terminating the tape drive If the DLT VS80 GB tape drive is the only SCSI device - other than the SCSI host adapter - on the selected server, it must be terminated. Likewise, if the DLT VS80 GB tape drive is the last device on the selected server SCSI bus, it must be terminated. If the DLT VS80 GB tape drive is at the end of the SCSI cable, it is the last device on the SCSI bus. To terminate the DLT VS80 tape drive, locate the terminator in the accessories package and press it firmly into either of the two SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the drive. Secure the terminator by tightening the screws until snug. Device drivers Device drivers for Intel-based systems can be downloaded from the "Support and Drivers" link on the HP website at: www.hp.com
