SDLT 600 Product Manual Chapter 4: Installing Your Tape Drive
81-81184-02 REV A01 March 2004 4-19
Because of the variety of mounting possibilities for tape drives, the instructions presented here are
general in nature. Use them only as a guide for mounting the tape drive in your system.
Mount the tape drive in the system by performing the following steps:
1. Make sure the host computer and all peripheral devices are powered off.
2. Position the tape drive in the system and align the mounting holes (side or bottom) with those in
the system.
Figure 4-5 on page 4-11 shows the mounting locations and dimensions for the tape
drive.
3. Using four M3 x 8mm long screws, secure the tape drive in the bay or chassis.
4.5.3 Connect the Power
Figure 4-7 on page 4-18 shows the location of this connector; pin assignments for the power connector
are listed in Table 4-5 on page 4-16 .
1. Before connecting the SDLT 600 tape drive to the host computer, be certain the tape drive and
computer are powered off.
2. If you are connecting several devices to the system, connect only the tape drive to the host
computer at this time. Confirm that the host computer and tape drive are communicating correctly
before adding additional devices.
3. Attach the power cable to the tape drive.
4. Check all cable and termination connections and ensure that they are attached correctly and seated
firmly before you power on the system.
4.5.4 Optional Loader Connector
The 8-pin optional loader connector provides signals to be used when the tape drive is part of a loader/
library configuration.
Figure 4-7 on page 4-18 shows the location of this connector; Table 4-6 on
page 4-16 lists pin assignments for the loader connector.
C AUTION The screws used to mount the tape drive must be M3 x 8mm
long. This type of screw is exactly the proper length and will
not damage the tape drive.
