To install a tape drive in a 3.5-inch model server, complete the following steps.
1. Remove the tape drive option and cables from their static-protective package.
2. If you have not attached the space filler from the tape drive option to the tape
drive assembly, do so now.
3. From the inside of the server, thread the tape-drive end of the cables through
the slot in the left side of the hard disk drive cage and out the front of the
server.
4. Connect the cables to the back of the tape drive.
5. Push the tape drive assembly into the bays, gently pulling the cables farther
into the server as you do so, until the tape drive assembly stops.
6. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
7. Connect the cable connectors to the following system-board connectors (see
“System-board internal cable connectors” on page 11 for the location of the
connectors):
v Signal connector: SATA tape drive signal connector, J102
v Power connector: Tape drive power connector, J100
The following illustration shows the routing of the SATA tape drive signal cable.
