Internal Drives-Installation Overview
Before you start:
Check the packing list inside this guide. Check system prerequisites.
Step 1: Check the Drive's SCSI ID
Check the tape drive's SCSI ID. If necessary change it from the default
of 3 by setting jumpers on the back of the drive.
Step 2: Set the Configuration Switches (UNIX Systems Only)
Check the UNIX configuration switches on the bottom of the drive.
Change the switch settings, if necessary.
Step 3: Prepare the Mounting Bay
Switch off the computer and remove its outer casing. Remove the cover
plate from an empty, 5¼-inch, half-height bays. (Keep the screws.) If
your computer has 3½ inch bays, fit the supplied 5¼ to 3½ conversion
kit to the drive.
Step 4: Attach Mounting Rails
Attach any mounting hardware (rails or tray) necessary for your
computer. In the box you will find mounting rails for use with
HP Kayak/Vectra/Brio/NetServer E-series, a tray for use with HP
NetServer L-series and mounting rails for non-HP systems.
Step 5: Install the Drive
Fit the power cable extension and slide the tape drive into the bay. To
aid fitting cables, do not secure the drive with screws yet.
Step 6: Attach Power and SCSI Cables
Attach a spare power cable from the computer's internal power supply.
Attach the drive to a spare connector on the SCSI ribbon cable.
Step 7: Secure the Drive
Secure the drive in place with the provided screws. Replace the
computer's cover and reconnect cables.
On Completion
Power on the system and check the tape drive is operational. Insert the
HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM. It contains drivers, backup software and
many useful utilities. Register your tape drive.
