7. Securing the Drive
The tape drive can now be secured to the system as shown in Figure 12. There are several ways to
secure the drive. If the drive is on rails or in a sled, then push it in place. Some systems require the
drive to be inserted into a media bay and attached directly to the system with screws.
8. Connecting Host System Power and Testing Power to the Tape Drive

power, watch for the following indicators while turning on the power to the system:
