Installing a Tape Drive
To install a tape drive:
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to equipment or loss of information, be sure that the
server is powered down, all cables are disconnected from the server, and the power
cord is disconnected from the grounded (earthed) AC outlet before removing the
access panel.
1.
Remove the access panel (and bezel door if applicable) by following the steps in
the section applicable to your tower or rack server at the beginning of this
chapter.
2.
Install guide screws on the sides of the drive.
3.
To configure the device, set the SCSI device ID. You must manually set the SCSI
device ID on each device to a unique value in the range of 0 through 5 for each
SCSI bus. Refer to the documentation provided with the drive for instructions on
setting the SCSI device ID.
4.
Slide the drive into the drive bay until it clicks into place.

IMPORTANT:
HP recommends installing the tape drive on a separate SCSI cable to avoid a
decrease in performance of other SCSI devices.
