Step 4. Connect and test power to the tape drive
The LTO-2 does not contain its own power source; it must be powered externally.
To connect and test power to the LTO-2:
__ 1. Ensure that the server (or unit that supplies power to the drive) is powered
off.
__ 2. Ensure that the power cord is disconnected from both the server and the
power outlet.
__ 3. Connect the server’s internal power cable to the power connector on the
drive (see
4
in Figure 1 on page 7). Ensure that the connector is properly
connected.
__ 4. Connect the power cord to the server and to the electrical outlet.
__ 5.
Review the location of the single-character display and the status light on
page 31 (if your drive does not have a bezel, note that the bulb of the status
light is recessed and the light is not visible until lit). To ensure that the drive
is receiving power, watch for the following while turning on the power to
the server:
v The single-character display presents a series of random characters, then
becomes blank (not lit).
Note: If the single-character display does not come on, the drive may
not be getting power.
v The status light briefly becomes solid amber, then becomes solid green.
__ 6.
Power-off the server.
__ 7. Disconnect the power cord from both the server and the electrical outlet.
Step 5. Connect the internal SCSI cable
Connect one end of the SCSI cable that came with the tape drive to the SCSI
connector on the drive (see
2
in Figure 1 on page 7). Connect the other end to the
SCSI connector within your server.
Step 6. Run drive diagnostics
__ 1.
Replace the cover on the server.
__ 2. Connect the power cord to both the server and the electrical outlet, then
power-on the server.
__ 3.
Run one or more of the following tape drive diagnostics. If an error code
appears on the single-character display, go to Table 8 on page 49.
v Function Code 1 - Run Tape Drive Diagnostics (see page 36).
v
Function Code 6 - Run Wrap Test (see page 39).
__ 4. Power-off the server, then disconnect the power cord from both the server
and the electrical outlet.
Step 7. Install the device drivers
For information about installing device drivers, refer to the Readme file in the
