Installing a SATA tape drive in a 2.5-inch model server To install a tape drive in a 2.5-inch model server, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 28. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. Attention: In a dc power environment, only trained service personnel other than IBM service technicians are authorized to connect or disconnect power to the dc power supply. See the documentation that comes with each dc power supply. 3. If you installed the space filler from the tape enablement kit onto the tape-drive assembly, remove it now. 4. Remove the server cover. 5. Remove the fan-bracket assembly. 6. Remove the filler panel from the tape-drive bay. 7. From the inside of the server, thread the tape-drive end of the cables for your tape drive through the rear of the tape-drive bay and out the front of the server. 8. Connect the cable or cables to the back of the tape drive. 9. Push the tape-drive assembly into the tape-drive bay, gently pulling the cables farther into the server as you do so, until the tape-drive assembly stops. 10. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position. 11. Connect the cable connectors to the following system-board connectors (see "System-board internal cable connectors" on page 19 for the location of the connectors): v Signal connector: SATA tape drive signal connector, J102 v Power connector: tape-drive power connector, J100 The following illustration shows the routing of the SATA tape drive signal cable.
