Step 6. Placing the 7207 Tape Drive
The 7207-122 Tape Drive can be located anywhere that is convenient to your
system unit. The only restrictions are the length of the power cord and the SCSI
cable. Recommended locations are:
In a clean, dirt-free environment
Away from the floor
In a horizontal position
Where the tape cartridge can be easily inserted
To place the 7207-122 Tape Drive:
1. Set the 7207-122 Tape Drive in the preferred location.
2. Connect the power cable to the 7207-122 Tape Drive. (Do not plug it into
the electrical outlet at this time.)
The external devices that attach to the system unit can be stacked. When stacking
devices, do not place more than 30 pounds on top of the 7207 Tape Drive.
Step 7. Performing a System Shutdown
Attention: Do not attach the 7207-122 Tape Drive to an RS/6000 system unit that
is powered on. This can damage the 7207 Tape Drive, the system unit, or both.
To perform a system shutdown of the RS/6000:
Note: Before doing a controlled shutdown of the system unit, notify other users
who may be using the system.
1. If it is on, do a controlled fast shutdown of the system unit by typing
shutdown -F
from the system console. (You must have root authority to
perform the shutdown; see your system administrator.) Depending on your
system configuration, the shutdown may take several minutes.
2. When the message
Halt Completed
displays on the system console, turn
off the power to the system unit.
3. Turn off the power to all external devices connected to the system unit.
4. Unplug the power cables to all external devices from their electrical outlets.
5. Unplug the system unit power cable from the electrical outlet.
