Chapter 3. Installing the 20/40GB 4MM Internal Tape Drive
This chapter takes you through the steps of installing your 20/40GB 4MM Internal Tape
Drive, which involves the following tasks:
v Handling Recommendations
v Setting the SCSI address
v Installing the tape drive in your system unit
v Connecting the tape drive
v Configuring the tape drive
v Verifying the installation
Note: Refer to your system unit documentation for safety information before you install
Handling Recommendations
Attention:
remove the 20/40GB 4MM Internal Tape Drive from its anti-static bag or any time you
handle it.
For optimum performance, always follow the recommendations listed below:
v Handle the drive carefully and by its external metal chassis. Keep your hands away
from the printed circuit boards, components, and printed circuit (flex) cables.
v If possible, work on a cushioned surface, and do not drop the tape drive onto the
work surface.
v If you move tape drive to an environment that is colder or warmer than its previous
environment, keep the drive in its package and allow the package to reach the
current room temperature. This prevents potential data loss or damage to the tape
drive. Allow one hour of acclimation for each 10 degrees C (18 degrees F) difference
between the ship or storage temperature and the room temperature.
Setting the SCSI Address
The 20/40GB 4MM Internal Tape Drive is shipped with jumpers packaged in a small
plastic bag. After you choose an available SCSI address, you can install the jumpers on
the tape drive to match the selected address. Refer to "Determining Your SCSI
Address" on page 6 if you need instructions for selecting the SCSI address.
To set a SCSI address, insert jumpers onto pin positions reserved on the jumper block
specifically for setting the address. To set a position to On, insert a jumper onto both
the top and bottom pins. To set a position to Off, either insert a jumper onto the top pin
only or remove the jumper from the jumper block.
Refer to the figure on page 10 and to Table 2 on page 10 as you go through the
following steps to set the SCSI address on your 20/40GB 4MM Internal Tape Drive:
and connect your 20/40GB 4MM Internal Tape Drive.
