To secure the tape drive to the chassis, use a torque driver to tighten the blue captive thumbscrews on
the drive sled to 6 inch pounds or 0.68 N m.
If a torque driver is not available, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the thumbscrews until a low
initial threshold torque achieves a snug tight condition.
If the thumbscrews cannot be tightened, verify that the tape drive is aligned properly.
Connecting the Fibre Channel cables
NOTE:
Using both ports on a dual-port drive requires multipath capability in the host application. For information
about configuring the second port, see the application documentation.
Procedure
1.
Remove the FC port caps if necessary. Attach one end of the FC cable to port A on the tape drive.
2.
Attach the other end of the FC cable to a switch or HBA.
Connecting the SAS cable
NOTE:
SAS signal rates require clean connections between the HBA and tape drive. Do not use adapters or
converters between the HBA and the tape drive. For reliable operation, use a maximum SAS cable length
of six meters.
Procedure
1.
Attach the HBA end of the SAS cable into the connector on the HBA. If you are using a SAS fanout
cable, the end of the cable with only one connector should be plugged into the HBA.
2.
Connect the drive end of the cable.
