1. Remove the cover plate or tape drive from the drive bay where the
half height 8 mm tape drive will be installed.
Use the 9 mm hex-head socket to remove screws securing the plate.
2. Place the half height 8 mm tape drive between the lower halves of the
mounting brackets. See Figure 9-20.
Attach the brackets to the drive.
3. Locate the SCSI ID (address) cable for the drive.
One end of this cable plugs into the device select switch for the drive bay.
Figure 9-17 shows a device select switches. Each switch is adjacent to the
drive bay which it controls.
4. Plug the address cable into the SCSI ID connector at the tape drive rear.
Pin 1 of the address cable connector must plug into pin 1 of the SCSI ID
connector on the drive.
5. Plug the power cable from the drive bay into the power connector on the
drive.
6. Plug the SCSI data cable from the drive bay into the SCSI data connector
on the drive.
7. Tuck the cables in behind the drive and slide the drive into the drive bay.
8. Align the holes in the mounting brackets with the holes in the cabinet
and secure the tape drive to the cabinet.
Use the 9 mm hex-head socket to install two screws at the front of the
mounting brackets. See Figure 9-22.
Note – A half-height cover plate must be installed above the half height 8 mm
tape drive when the drive bay contains only one half-height drive. The half-
height drive must be installed in the lower half of the bay.
9. Determine which SCSI address to assign the tape drive you are installing.
The SCSI address for the tape drive depends on the SPARCcenter 2000
system configuration and/or the location of the drive. Figure 9-17 shows
possible locations for the half height 8 mm tape drive. Table 9-1 shows
examples of SCSI addresses for the four drive bays.
•
If the tape drive replaces one previously installed in the drive bay, keep the
same SCSI address assigned to the drive that was replaced.
