Never use a cable where power is supplied through the SAS connector because this may

Option 2: Connect cable to spare port on host SAS controller
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
on page 20 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 tie wrap and cover on the spare
connector.
