f. If an LTO tape drive is installed, install a SAS HBA into an available PCIe slot, and connect the drive
to the adapter with the cable that is shipped with the LTO tape drive (see “SAS tape drive cable
routing” on page 35).
2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new tape drive to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server; then, take the tape drive out of the package and place it on a static-protective
surface.
To install a tape drive, complete the following steps:
Step 1. The tape drive must be installed into the lower optical drive bay. If the drive bay is covered by a
filler, remove it first. Store the filler in case that you later remove the tape drive and need the filler to
cover the place.
Step 2. Insert the tape drive into the lower drive bay and slide it in until it is obstructed. Gently pull the
metal tab on the side of the chassis, and then continue to slide the tape drive in until it snaps into
position.

Step 3. Connect the power and signal cables to the rear of the tape drive. See “Tape drive” on page 35.
Note: For the LTO tape drive, connect one end of the signal cable to the LTO tape drive; then,
connect the other end of the signal cable to the RAID adapter.
