To test a SCSI tape drive, refer to the documentation for the tape drive software to perform a tape drive backup and verification test.
Installing an Internal Tape Drive That Uses a Controller Card
Tape drives that require their own separate controller cards are shipped with the controller card and an inter- face cable. Install the drive in the third or bottom bay of the upper drive cage by performing the following steps:
1.Configure the controller card if necessary.
Refer to the documentation accompanying the tape drive and the card. If the card incorporates jumpers or switches that must be set to work with the system, verify or change the settings as necessary.
2.Remove the computer covers and front bezel.
See “Removing the Computer Covers” and “Remov- ing the Front Bezel” in Chapter 7.
CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electro- static Discharge” in the safety instructions at the front of this guide.
3.Attach the drive rails to the drive, if necessary (see Figure
4.Slide the new drive into its bay until it snaps securely into place.
If necessary, you can adjust drive alignment by repositioning one or both rails.
5.Install the controller card in an expansion slot. See “Installing an Expansion Card” in Chapter 8.
6.Connect a DC power cable to the tape drive.
If other installed drives are in the way, disengage them by pressing in on the plastic drive rails at the front of the bay, and slide them slightly toward the front of the chassis.
Refer to “DC Power Cables” earlier in this chapter to determine which DC power cable connector to use. Plug the DC power cable connector into the
7.Attach the interface cable that came with the drive kit to the connector on the back of the drive.
8.Route the other end of the interface cable through a cutout in the center wall of the chassis to the controller card, and connect the interface cable to the controller connector on the card.
Refer to the controller card’s documentation to iden- tify the controller connector on the card.
9.If you moved other drives in step 5, snap them back into place.
10.Check all cable connections that may have been loosened during this procedure. Arrange cables so they will not catch on the computer cover or block the airflow of the fans or cooling vents.
