Internal Tape Drive Guidelines and Cautions

The following guidelines and cautions apply to handling and installing the internal DAT24 tape

drive. Keep them in mind as you install the internal drive.

Handle the drive by the sides rather than by the top cover to reduce the risk of dropping the

•

drive or damaging it during installation.

Internal drives contain some exposed components that are sensitive to static electricity. To

•

reduce the possibility of damage from static discharge, the drives are shipped in a protective

antistatic bag. Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal or grounded surface to dis-

•

charge any static electricity buildup from your body.

Always lay the drive either on top of the antistatic bag or place it inside of the bag to reduce

•

the chance of damage from static discharge.

Configuring the Internal DAT24 Drive

Before you install the internal DAT24 tape drive in your computer, you may need to set the drive's

SCSI ID or other drive features. Most features are set using a bank of dip-switches on the underside

of the drive (see Figure 1 on page 11). To control SCSI termination and terminator power, or to con-

figure the drive for remote SCSI address selection, use the jumpers on the back of the drive, above

the interface and power connectors.
