Installing the CP 3100
Installing an Internal CP 3100

Handling Precautions
Observe the following precautions to avoid electrostatic damage to the internal CP 3100.
•
The internal CP 3100 contains some exposed components that are sensitive to static electric-
ity. To reduce the possibility of damage from static discharge, the CP 3100 is shipped in a
protective antistatic bag. Do not remove the CP 3100 from the antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it.
•
Before you remove the internal CP 3100 from the antistatic bag, touch a grounded metal sur-
face to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
•
Handle the internal CP 3100 by the sides rather than by the top cover to reduce the risk of
dropping the CP 3100 or damaging it during installation.
•
Always lay the internal CP 3100 either on top of the antistatic bag or place it inside of the
bag to reduce the chance of damage from static discharge.
Items You Must Supply
To install the internal CP 3100, you may need the following additional items:
•
An available 5.25-inch, half-height bay where the CP 3100 is to be installed.
•
An available expansion card slot opening on the back of your computer.
•
An Ethernet cable for connecting the CP 3100 to your Local Area Network (LAN).
•
An internal SCSI cable for connecting to the host SCSI interface card.
•
A Phillips screwdriver and other appropriate tools for accessing the inside of your computer.
Reviewing the SCSI ID
It is not necessary to manually set the SCSI ID number of the internal CP 3100. The unit assumes the
SCSI ID of the archive tape drive after connection and boot up.
Note: Do not set the archive tape drive to SCSI ID 7. For best performance, it is strongly recom-
mended that the CP 3100 be attached to a dedicated SCSI Ultra 160 controller.
