Installing And Removing Optional 5.25-Inch Tape Drives - NEC Express5800 320La User Manual

Installing and Removing
Optional 5.25-Inch Tape Drives
The optional 5.25-inch tape drives can only be mounted in a tower-based system
that has the Internal Device Bay Expansion Kit and a SCSI controller (PCI
adapter board) installed. For information on how to mount the expansion kit, see
subsection Installing the Internal Device Bay Expansion Kit and for information
on how to install a SCSI controller PCI adapter board see subsection Installing
PCI Adapter Boards in this chapter.
otes:
N Set the SCSI terminator (if present) of the 5.25-
inch tape drive to OFF. Set the SCSI ID to a unique value
that will not overlap the IDs of other devices. For setup
operation, refer to the tape drive manual for setup
information.
The SCSI cable connector is equipped with a 50-pin
converter. Remove this converter and save it for future use.
When connecting the cable, be very careful that the device
does not pinch the cable.
Two tape drives can be connected to one group depending
on the connection method. However, to utilize the fault-
tolerant feature, we recommend that two identical tape
drives be connected to both groups to periodically back up
the data between the groups.
