How do I connect the drive to my server?
Installation requires a SAS Smart Array controller or SAS HBA that supports tape.
NOTE:
All non-Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers require an additional HBA.
The recommended way of connecting a tape drive to a SAS server, is to purchase and install
one of the supported HBAs. Always refer to the
Data Agile BURA Compatibility Matrix BEFORE
you install your tape drive to ensure that you are connecting to a supported HBA running the
recommended firmware version. Be sure to check the details of the specific tape drive and server
combination that you require.
For current information about supported HBAs, see the
Data Agile BURA Compatibility Matrix
at:
http://www.hpe.com/storage/buracompatibility
Internal drives
The tape drive is installed into a spare drive bay in your server and is attached to the host server
internal SAS controller or SAS host bus adapter.
You need one industry-standard, 5¼-inch, half-height bay in which to install the LTO Ultrium tape
drive. Different models of server require different mounting methods. Refer to your server
documentation for detailed information. See also
“Installing an internal LTO Ultrium tape
.
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.
NOTE:
Power for the LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 and LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 tape drive is supplied
through the SAS cable. For all earlier models of tape drive, a separate power cable is required,
