Verify the
location
for the tape drive.

bottom drive bay
.

Otherwise, install the new drive in the
next higher
empty drive bay.

Using a Phillips screwdriver,
remove
the two screws securing the
drive bay cover
.
3.
While supporting the bottom of the
new tape drive assembly
, slowly insert the drive
into the drive bay until it is flush with the back panel of the device.
CAUTION:
Support the bottom of the tape drive when removing it to avoid damaging any
of the internal connections.
4.
Finger-tighten the captive
thumbscrews
until the tape drive is secure.
5.
Attach the
SAS
or
FC cables
to the connectors on the tape drive.
•
If you are installing an
SAS fanout cable
, attach one
mini-SAS connector
into
the connector on the tape drive and use the
other ends
to connect tape drives (or coil
and secure them to the rack to minimize stress on the connectors).
•
If you are installing an
FC cable
, connect the
FC cable connector
to the connector
on the tape drive and then configure the
FC interface
.
NOTE: Overland recommends the default settings of Port Speed: Automatic and Port Type:
Auto Detect so the tape drive will use the appropriate configuration.
