Install The Drive; Extractor Lever On Tape Drive Fully Open - HP 330834-B21 - StorageWorks Ultrium 460 Tape Library Drive Module User Manual

• If you daisy-chain devices, make sure that devices are of the same SCSI type and that each device
on the same SCSI bus has a unique SCSI ID and is terminated appropriately. Do not daisy-chain
more than two devices on the same SCSI bus.
• Always terminate the SCSI bus.
• Do not attach the drive to the same SCSI bus as a your disk drive or to a RAID controller unless
you are connecting to a ProLiant server with a Smart Array 6i RAID controller.
The individual tape drives are connected to their host server via the high density LVD/SE SCSI connectors
on the back of the tape array. They do not require any SCSI cables to plug into the tape array. However,
suitably-rated cabling and terminators are required to connect the tape array with the SCSI host.

Install the drive

1. Before installing a tape drive, make sure that the extractor lever is in the fully open position (pulled
out).

CAUTION:
When handling a tape drive, hold the drive by the side carrier framework. To avoid
possible damage, do not hold the body of the drive and do not push or pull on the tape
drive's front panel.
2. Slide the tape drive into one of the open bays, ensuring that the guide rails on both sides of the drive
locate into the slots on the partition wall. Carefully but firmly ensure the tape drive is pushed fully in
so that the rear connectors are securely seated. The extractor level will close slightly.
NOTE:
Correct alignment of SCSI tape drives in the tape array is essential to ensure a secured
connection is made between the interface of the drive and the interface of the array.
3.
Push on the extractor lever to complete the insertion and to lock the tape drive in place.
