Decide which cable to use

Several USB cables are supplied with your tape drive because there are various options for connecting
the tape drive to your server:
• To an internal 4-pin USB port on your server's system board; this option uses the special, 4-pin
USB cable and is appropriate for many HP ProLiant servers. Two cables are supplied for
connecting to a 4-pin USB connector because there are two types of pin layout.
• To an internal standard USB port, possibly on your server's system board or on an internal USB
card; this option uses the standard USB cable
• To an external USB port on your server; this option uses the Cable Routing kit and the standard
USB cable
