NOTE:
The cable supplied with the tape drive is suitable for connecting to a mini-SAS
(SFF-8086/8087) connector on a dedicated HBA or on the server SAS controller. If your server
has a SAS 4i connector (SFF-8484), a suitable cable is available, but must be purchased
separately, see
http://www.hpe.com/storage/buracompatibility
.
Option 1: Connect to a new HBA (all servers)
The following instructions are valid ONLY IF you have purchased and installed an additional
HBA. See
“Decision tree for connecting an internal tape drive to an internal SAS port” (page 12)
and always refer to
http://www.hpe.com/storage/buracompatibility BEFORE
installing your
tape drive.
