The following instructions apply to some HP servers. They are valid ONLY IF the host SAS controller
on your server is supported and has a spare SAS connector. See the decision chart
and
always refer to
BEFORE installing your tape drive.
IMPORTANT:
This installation uses the SAS cable supplied with the tape drive to connect to an
internal port on the host SAS controller. It does not modify your existing SAS configuration. The
second branch of the split cable is not required for this installation. Do NOT remove the plastic
cover on the spare mini-SAS connector.
1.
Remove the plastic cover from the mini-SAS connector and connect the SAS cable supplied
with the tape drive to the spare SAS port on the host SAS controller.
