Overland Tandberg LTO Quick Start Manual

LTO Internal Standalone Tape Drive
This document describes how to setup and install an
internal LTO standalone tape drive from Overland-
Tandberg.
While working with the unit, observe
CAUTION:
standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
precautions to prevent damage to micro-circuitry
or static-sensitive devices.
NOTE: Before continuing, verify you are able to connect
to the host SAS controller via an installed host bus
adapter (HBA) and have the correct cable (available
separately) to attach the tape drive to it.

support/customer-self-service-portal/

Step 2
Install an HBA Card
NOTE: Be sure that the HBA card is the same interface
type as your LTO drive.
If you do not already have a HBA card installed that
matches your type of drive (SAS or FC), you must
install one before proceeding. You need a spare PCI
slot for the new HBA card.
Follow the installation instructions that came
with your HBA card to install it in your system.
Step 3
Install the LTO Tape Drive
NOTE: The following illustration shows one method of
mounting hardware; it does not apply to all servers.
Please refer to your server documentation.
1. Slide the LTO tape drive into an empty drive
bay.
IMPORTANT: If cable access for the tape
drive bay is awkward, it may be easier to
access power and other connections if the
tape drive is installed in the top bay. To do
so, you may need to move other devices to
lower drive bays.

2. Use the supplied 3mm screws in the holes
