Installing A Tape Drive - DEC AlphaServer 1000A Owner's Manual

Installing a Tape Drive

To install or replace a tape drive, refer to Figure 5-11 and follow these steps:
1. If you have not done so already, remove the original drive that you want to
replace. To remove the tape drive, reverse the order of steps 3 to 7 in this
installation procedure.
2. If you are replacing a drive, set the SCSI ID jumpers on the replacement drive to
the same ID as the original drive. If you are installing a drive, set the SCSI
device ID to 5. The ID 5 is the default device ID for a tape drive. See the
section, "Determining SCSI Storage Device IDs" in Chapter 6, "Configuring" for
more information.
3. Remove the tape drive bracket from the bay by loosening the bracket retaining
screw and pulling back on the bracket.
4. Slide the tape drive you want to install into the bracket and insert two screws on
each side.
5. Slide the drive assembly into the back of the bay until its screw holes are aligned
with the tape drive bracket holes.
6. Tighten the single retaining screw in the tape drive bracket.
7. Connect the power cable and the data cable to the back of the drive.
