Step 3: Connect the SCSI Cable
Caution
To avoid damaging the computer or tape drive, ensure that both are
powered off while you attach the SCSI cable.
1
Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the computer and any
connected peripherals. Disconnect power cables from the outlet.
You may need a different cable if your computer’s SCSI connector does not
match the cable supplied with your drive.
• If you have an HP SureStore Tape 5000eU model, a 50-pin narrow SCSI
cable is provided.
• If you have a DAT8eU or DAT24eU model, a 68-pin wide SCSI cable is
provided.
• If you do not have the appropriate cable for your computer, you will have
to order one from your supplier. (For HP part numbers and descriptions,
see the electronic DAT Media and Orderable Accessories Guide on the
HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.)
2
Attach one end of the SCSI cable to the computer’s external SCSI
connector. Push firmly and secure the cable in place with its retainers.
