Interface and DC Power
Connectors
Connect the interface and DC power cables to the internal drive as follows:
1
Verify that the system is shut down and the AC power cord is disconnected from the
facility AC power receptacle.
2
Depending on the interface configuration of your internal drive:
a
For the parallel SCSI internal drive:
• Attach the internal SCSI interface cable to the 68-pin parallel SCSI connector
on the back of the drive.
Caution:
The LTO-3 (Model B) Half-Height Tape Drive with the parallel SCSI
interface is a low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI device. Install it
only in LVD environments. Plugging an LVD drive into a high
voltage differential (HVD) bus makes the entire bus nonfunctional
and may permanently damage the drive or other SCSI devices on
the bus.
• See the internal parallel SCSI bus termination examples in
to check/verify the system SCSI bus configuration and install a 68-pin LVD
SCSI bus terminator, as required.
b
For the SAS internal drive, attach the internal SAS interface cable to the 29-pin
SFF-8482 SAS connector on the back of the drive.
3
Connect the internal drive DC power cable to the DC power connector on the back
of the drive.
4
Reinstall the system cover.
5
Reconnect the system AC power cord to the facility AC power receptacle.
After connecting the internal drive interface and DC power cables, proceed to
