Figure 7 Installing tape drive
NOTE:
The illustration shows a server that uses mounting rails. 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.
Connect SAS and power cords
The internal tape drive may be installed in one of three con
fi
gurations:
•
Use the existing SAS controller and connect the tape drive to a spare SAS port on the host
SAS controller. This cabling option is suitable for some HP ProLiant servers only. It is described
as Option 1 in this section.
•
Use the existing SAS controller, but replace one of the existing SAS cables to the hard disk drive
bays. This requires some recabling inside the server, and may also disconnect one of the hard
disk drive bays. This con
fi
guration is suitable for some HP ProLiant servers only and, if it does
disconnect a hard disk drive bay, you must be sure that the bay is not required for use. Do not
move a hard disk to create an empty bay because you may damage your server con
fi
guration.
This cabling option is described as Option 2 in this section.
•
Purchase and install an additional SAS HBA and connect the tape drive to the new HBA. This
con
fi
guration is suitable for HP and non-HP servers. It is described as Option 3 in this section.

for the latest information about SAS host controllers and
cabling options with HP ProLiant servers.
Option 1: Connect cable to spare port on host SAS controller
The following instructions apply to some HP servers. They are valid ONLY IF the host SAS controller on
your server is supported and has a spare SAS connector. See
Figure 4
on page 22 and always refer to
