To install a tape drive in a 3.5-inch model server, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 28.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
Attention: In a dc power environment, only trained service personnel other
than IBM service technicians are authorized to connect or disconnect power to
the dc power supply. See the documentation that comes with each dc power
supply.
3. Remove the server cover.
4. Remove the fan-bracket assembly.
5. Remove the filler panels from the two bottom-left hard disk drive bays.
6. If you have not attached the space filler from the tape enablement kit to the
tape-drive assembly, do so now.
7. From the inside of the server, thread the tape-drive end of the cables through
the slot in the left side of the hard disk drive cage and out the front of the
server.
8. Connect the cables to the back of the tape drive.
9. Push the tape-drive assembly into the bays, gently pulling the cables farther
into the server as you do so, until the tape-drive assembly stops.
10. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
11. Connect the cable connectors to the following system-board connectors (see
"System-board internal cable connectors" on page 19 for the location of the
connectors):
v Signal connector: SATA tape drive signal connector, J102
v Power connector: tape-drive power connector, J100
The following illustration shows the routing of the SATA tape drive signal cable.
Important: Make sure that the cables avoid any fan connectors.
