Installing an “eU” Model Drive (external for Unix)

Step 4: Connect the Power Cable
An external HP SureStore DAT drive will operate using any voltage in the
range 100–240 volts (50-60 Hz). No adjustment is needed. To connect your
drive to the power supply, proceed as follows:
1
Push the DIN plug on the power supply’s cable securely into the socket on
the rear panel of the drive, as shown in figure 2.4.
2
Plug the power cable securely into the power supply.
3
Power up the drive by plugging the other end of the power cable into the
power outlet.
The tape drive will run its self-test, which takes about 5 seconds. At the end
of the self-test, both front panel lights should be off. Read more about the
self-test and front panel lights in the electronic User’s Guide on the
HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.
4
Switch on the computer.
