2. To secure the tape drive to the chassis, tighten the blue captive screws with your fingers.
Connecting the FC cable
NOTE:
Using both ports on a dual-port drive requires path failover or multipath capability in the host application.
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 6 meters.
Procedure
1. Determine which end of the cable to plug into the HBA.
a. For a cable with a single connector on each end, the end with the same type of connector as the HBA
is the HBA end.
b. For a SAS fanout cable, the end of the cable with a single connector is the HBA end.
2. Attach the HBA end of the SAS cable to the HBA port.
3. Attach the drive end of the cable to Port A on the tape drive.
If you are using a SAS fanout cable, attach one mini-SAS connector to the port on the tape drive.
