Preparing the tape drive for installation
Find what you need to know before you install a SCSI tape drive.
Select the appropriate information from this list:
v
“Handling recommendations”
v
“Planning your serial-attached SCSI (SAS) device layout”
v
“Configuring the tape drive” on page 10
v “Updating microcode levels” on page 10
Handling recommendations
Attention:
Be sure to read these instructions before you remove the device from its anti-static bag or
any time you handle it.
For optimum performance, always follow these recommendations:
v
Handle the drive carefully and by its external metal chassis. Keep your hands away from the printed
circuit boards, components, and printed circuit (flex) cables.
v
If possible, work on a cushioned surface, and do not drop the device onto the work surface.
v If you move the device to an environment that is colder or warmer than its previous environment,
keep the drive in its package and allow the package to reach the current room temperature. This action
prevents potential data loss or damage to the device. Allow one hour of acclimatization for each 10
degrees C (18 degrees F) difference between the ship or storage temperature and the room temperature.
Note:
If you are installing the auto-docking version of this device on your system, the remainder of this
information does not apply to your system. For information about the auto-docking feature, see your
system documentation.
Planning your serial-attached SCSI (SAS) device layout
SAS devices do not require you to set a SCSI address before connecting to a SAS bus.
