Remove Server Cover; Connect Sas Cable To Internal Sas Port; Option 1: Connect Cable To Spare Port On Host Sas Controller Or Host Hba - HP DW017B - StorageWorks Ultrium 448 Tape Drive User Manual

Remove server cover

IMPORTANT:
These instructions apply ONLY to HP ProLiant servers with SAS controllers or HBAs that do not have
an external SAS port. Do not remove the server cover if your server has an external SAS port.
Go to "Installing an external Ultrium tape drive by connecting to an external SAS
for instructions on installing in non-HP servers and in HP ProLiant servers with an HBA that supports
external ports.
WARNING!
To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape drive, ensure that the server is disconnected
from the mains power supply while you install the drive.
1. Before you remove the cover, ensure that you have sufficient spare PCI slots to complete the
installation. Remember you need enough spare PCI slots to accommodate the SAS cabling and
any additional HBA.
2.
Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your server uses slotted screws)
• Torx screwdriver (if your server uses torx screws)
• Your server manuals (for reference during installation)
3.
Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any connected peripherals. Ensure
that the server is disconnected from the mains power supply.
4. Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in your server's documentation.
As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other signal cables or power cords from
other devices to maneuver the new drive into place. If you have to do this, make a note of their
position and connections so you can put them back correctly later.

Connect SAS cable to internal SAS port

Option 1: Connect cable to spare port on host SAS controller or host HBA

The following instructions apply to some HP ProLiant servers. They are valid ONLY IF the host SAS
controller on your server has a spare SAS connector. See
http://www.hp.com/go/connect
IMPORTANT:
This installation uses the SAS cable supplied with the tape drive to connect to an internal port on the host
SAS controller or the new HBA. It requires a spare PCI slot to accommodate the cable supplied with
the tape drive. It does not modify your existing SAS configuration.
NOTE:
These instructions are also valid IF you have installed a new HBA and it has ONLY internal SAS
connectors. Install the new HBA before you start the SAS cabling.
BEFORE installing your tape drive.
