Chapter 2. Installation
This chapter describes how to install the internal DDS Gen 5 drive.
Unpacking
Before you unpack the contents of your drive package, inspect the shipping
containers for damage. If you spot damage to the container, notify your carrier
immediately.
When you unpack the package, compare the items received with those on the
packing list. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your place of
purchase immediately.
Pre-installation requirements
In addition to the contents included with your internal tape drive, you need the
following items to install your internal tape drive.
v
A SCSI host bus adapter that is properly installed and configured in a host
computer
v
A 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch half-height bay
v
Backup application software that supports the internal tape drive.
v
Phillips screwdriver
v
Flatblade screwdriver, if your computer uses flathead screws
v
Torx screwdriver, if your computer uses torx screws
Avoiding electrostatic damage
Your internal tape drive has very sensitive components that are prone to damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use extreme care when handling the drive, as it
can be damaged by ESD.
Before handling the drive, read these ESD instructions to prevent damage to the
drive.
v
Wear an ESD-preventive grounding wrist strap or observe similar ESD
precautions when working with the drive. Be sure the wrist strap makes good
skin contact. Do not remove the wrist strap until you finish working with the
drive.
v
Avoid contact between the drive, other equipment, and clothing. The wrist strap
only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on
clothing can still cause damage.
v
When the drive is not being used, keep it in its antistatic bag.
v
Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal or grounded
surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
v
Hold the drive by its edges only. Avoid touching any exposed parts on the
printed circuit board.
v
Always place the drive on top of or inside the antistatic bag to reduce the
chance of ESD damage.
