To connect the cable:
1 Ensure the tape drive is powered OFF.
2 Since there are several types of SAS connectors, verify the SAS cable
has the correct connectors for the SAS host adapter and for the tape
drive.
3 The tape drive has two SAS ports and can be connected to two
servers, if desired. Refer to the appropriate figure that represents
your configuration for cabling information (see Figure 5 and
Figure 6 ) and then connect the SAS cable(s) to SAS host adapter(s)
and to the tape drive as shown.
