4Unpack the tape drive (and controller card, if applicable) and configure the tape drive according to the documentation that came with the tape drive, based on the following guidelines:
a Each device attached to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number. (Narrow SCSI devices use IDs 0 to 7; wide SCSI devices use IDs from 0 to 15). Set the drive’s SCSI ID to avoid conflicts with other devices on the SCSI bus. For the default SCSI ID setting, see the documentation provided with the drive.
NOTE: There is no requirement that SCSI ID numbers be assigned sequentially or that devices be attached to the cable in order by ID number.
bSCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of a SCSI chain be terminated and that all devices in between be unterminated. Therefore, you enable the tape drive’s termination if it is the last device in a chain of devices (or sole device) connected to the SCSI controller.
5If a controller card was included in the drive kit, install the card now. See "Installing an Expansion Card" on page 68.
6Remove the filler plate(s) from the peripheral bay.
NOTE: For a
7If the mounting screws are not attached to the drive, install them now.
8Insert the new tape drive
9Connect the SCSI interface cable in the drive kit to the drive. See Figure
10Connect the SCSI interface cable to the SCSI connector on the optional SCSI controller card.
11Connect the power cable to the power connector on the drive. If not already done, connect the other end of the power cable to the CD/TBU power connector on the SAS backplane. See Figure
12Push the tape drive the rest of the way into the bay until the spring latch engages.
13Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 53.
14Replace the front bezel, if it was removed in step 1.
15Reconnect the system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn them on.
16Finish configuring the SCSI tape backup unit according to the documentation you received with the device.
17Perform a tape backup and verification test with the drive as instructed in the software documentation that came with the drive.
