This quick start guide describes how to connect and install an internal Tandberg Data LTO-3, LTO-4 or LTO-5 SAS tape drive within a server. WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape drive, disconnect your server from the mains power supply before installing the tape drive. To avoid damage to server or tape drive observe all recommended anti-static and power-grounding precautions, as specified in your server and tape drive manuals. Tandberg Data LTO-3, LTO-4 & LTO-5 HH SAS Internal Tape Drives 2 Install and connect to host HBA The following instructions are valid ONLY for servers with an HBA that supports internal SAS ports. You must purchase a supported HBA and cable, if you do not already have a SAS card installed. See www.tandbergdata.com for recommended products. You need a spare PCI slot for the new HBA. 1. If necessary install the new HBA Follow the instructions supplied with the HBA to install the new SAS HBA and any required drivers. 2. Attach the mounting hardware (some servers only) Screw packs are labeled for each server type; always use the specific screws for your server. Follow the instructions in the screw pack. You may damage your tape drive if you use screws that are too long, because the Tandberg LTO half-height tape drive allows only 3mm of the engagement of the screw into the drive. NOTE: The illustration shows one method of mounting hardware; it does not apply to all servers. Please refer also to the "User Guide" and your server documentation. 3.
