When installing the external SCSI tape drive, refer to Figure 2-11 for the
location of the back-panel components.
Before You Begin
Before you begin hardware installation, do the following:
4
Select your application software — To obtain information about which
software applications work with the tape drive, visit Exabyte’s web site
( www.exabyte.com ). You can install the software application on the host
computer before or after you install the tape drive. However, if you install
the software first, you may need to reconfigure it for use with the tape drive.
4
Install an LVD SCSI host bus adapter — Make certain the SCSI host bus
adapter card installed in the host computer is LVD and compatible with the
tape drive. Exabyte does not recommend connecting the tape drive to a RAID
controller.
4
Protect the work area from ESD — Touch a known grounded surface to
discharge static electricity from your body and ensure that the work area is
free from conditions that could cause ESD.

Important
To avoid SCSI bus hangs, do not connect the tape drive to an HVD
SCSI bus. To avoid performance problems, do not connect the
tape drive to a single-ended SCSI bus.
