Determine whether you need another SCSI cable.
If your SCSI controller has a ribbon cable attached to it and there is an unused
connector, you will not need another SCSI cable. Go to step 5.
If your SCSI controller does not have a cable attached to it, you will need a new
SCSI cable. Once you have this cable, go to step 5.
If your SCSI host adapter has a cable attached to it but there are no available
connectors, you must do one of the following:
•
Install a SCSI cable with more connectors (a SCSI host adapter can support up
to seven devices)
•
Install another SCSI host adapter and cable

Locate an available 5¼-inch, half-height drive bay in your computer.
6
Remove the cover plate and any mounting hardware (screws, rails, or a tray, for
example) from the bay. Keep any mounting hardware that can be used to secure the
tape drive in the bay.
If your computer requires special mounting hardware that you do not have, you must
purchase this hardware before continuing.
7
Make sure the available SCSI connector reaches the back of the empty bay in which
you plan to install the new tape drive, as shown in figure 2.2.
8
Locate an available internal power cable and make sure it reaches the back of the empty
bay.
