Figure 2-2 Installing the tape drive
The illustration shows a tape drive that has mounting rails fitted. If your
server does not use mounting hardware, check that the holes in the chassis
are aligned with the holes in the side of the tape drive.
Do not secure the drive at this point because you may have to move the
drive to get the cables into place.
Attach cables
The drive is not powered from the USB bus. It must be connected to the
server's power supply.
The tape drive is connected to a internal USB port on your server. Use the
schematic on the inside of the server panel to check whether the server has
an internal USB port and locate its position. If your server does not have an
internal USB 2.0 port, you will need to purchase and install a suitable USB
host adapter before connecting the USB tape drive. Please visit the support
pages at

1. Use a USB cable with a 4–pin Intel connector to connect to the server.
Use cable ties, as required, to tidy excess cable length.
