Installing an internal tape drive
Verifying the server SAS connector type
The cable supplied with the product connects to a Mini SAS (SFF-8087) connector on a dedicated HBA or
host SAS controller. This is a split cable, but the second branch is not normally required. Do not remove
the plastic cover on the spare connector.
NOTE:
To connect the tape drive to a SAS 4i (SFF-8484) or other type of SAS port, you must supply the
appropriate cable.
Installing the tape drive
CAUTION:
The tape drive is installed in one industry-standard, 5¼-inch half-height bay. For specific information
about mounting methods and requirements, see the server documentation.
Attach the alignment screws or mounting hardware
Procedure
1. If the server or enclosure requires alignment screws, special rails, or other hardware, attach them to
the tape drive with the screws supplied with the tape drive. See the instructions with the screw kit for
required washers or shims.
Example: Attaching a metal shim and alignment screws
