U
npack the tape drive (and controller card, if applicable) and configure the tape drive according to
the documentation that came with the tape drive, based on the following guidelines:
a
Each device attached to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number. (Narrow SCSI
devices use IDs 0 to 7; wide SCSI devices use IDs from 0 to 15). Set the drive’s SCSI ID to avoid
conflicts with other devices on the SCSI bus. For the default SCSI ID setting, see the
documentation provided with the drive.
NOTE:
There is no requirement that SCSI ID numbers be assigned sequentially or that devices be attached to
the cable in order by ID number.
b
SCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of a SCSI chain be terminated and that
all devices in between be unterminated. Therefore, you enable the tape drive’s termination if it is
the last device in a chain of devices (or sole device) connected to the SCSI controller.
5
If a controller card was included in the drive kit, install the card now. See
"Installing an Expansion
Card" on page 68
.
6
Remove the filler plate(s) from the peripheral bay.
NOTE:
For a full-height tape backup unit, you must remove two filler plates.
7
If the mounting screws are not attached to the drive, install them now.
8
Insert
the new tape drive three-quarters of the way into the drive slot on the peripheral bay
, with the
mounting screws entering the bay slide slots
.
9
Connect the SCSI interface cable in the drive kit to the drive. See Figure 3-16.
10
Connect the SCSI interface cable to the SCSI connector on the optional SCSI controller card.
11
Connect the power cable to the power connector on the drive. If not already done, connect the
other end of the power cable to the
CD/TBU p
ower connector
o
n the SAS backplane. See
Figure 6-3
.
12
Push the tape drive the rest of the way into the bay until the spring latch engages.
13
Close the system. See
"Closing the System" on page 53
.
14
Replace the front bezel, if it was removed in
step 1
.
15
Reconnect the system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn them on.
16
Finish configuring the SCSI tape backup unit according to the documentation you received with the
device.
17
Perform a tape backup and verification test with the drive as instructed in the software documentation
that came with the drive.
