Installing Drives in the External Bays 9-75. Check all cable connections that may have beenloosened during this procedure. Arrange cablesso they will not catch on the computer cover orblock the airflow of the fans or cooling vents.6. If a front-panel insert on the front bezel blocksthe bay in which you installed the drive, removethe insert.See “Removing and Replacing Front-Panel Inserts”found earlier in this chapter.7. Replace the front bezel and computer covers.8. Reconnect the computer and peripherals to theirpower sources, and turn them on.9. Test the SCSI devices.To test a SCSI tape drive, refer to the documentationfor the tape drive software to perform a tape drivebackup and verification test.Installing an Internal Tape Drive ThatUses a Controller CardTape drives that require their own separate controllercards are shipped with the controller card and an inter-face cable. Install the drive in the third or bottom bay ofthe upper drive cage by performing the following steps:1. Configure the controller card if necessary.Refer to the documentation accompanying the tapedrive and the card. If the card incorporates jumpersor switches that must be set to work with the system,verify or change the settings as necessary.2. Remove the computer covers and front bezel.See “Removing the Computer Covers” and “Remov-ing the Front Bezel” in Chapter 7.3. Slide the new drive into its bay until it snapssecurely into place.If necessary, you can adjust drive alignment byrepositioning one or both rails.4. Install the controller card in an expansion slot.See “Installing an Expansion Card” in Chapter 8.5. Connect a DC power cable to the tape drive.If other installed drives are in the way, disengagethem by pressing in on the plastic drive rails at thefront of the bay, and slide them slightly toward thefront of the chassis.Refer to “DC Power Cables” found earlier in thischapter to determine which DC power cable connec-tor to use. Plug the DC power cable connector intothe 4-pin power input connector on the back of thedrive.6. Attach the interface cable that came with thedrive kit to the card-edge connector on the backof the drive.7. Route the other end of the interface cable througha cutout in the center wall of the chassis to thecontroller card, and connect the interface cable tothe controller connector on the card.Refer to the controller card’s documentation to iden-tify the controller connector on the card.8. If you moved other drives in step 5, snap themback into place.9. Check all cable connections that may have beenloosened during this procedure. Arrange cablesso they will not catch on the computer cover orblock the airflow of the fans or cooling vents.10. If a front-panel insert on the computer coverblocks the bay in which you installed the drive,remove the insert.See “Removing and Replacing Front-Panel Inserts”found earlier in this chapter.11. Replace the front bezel and computer covers.12. Reconnect the computer and peripherals to theirpower sources, and turn them on.CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electro-static Discharge” in the safety instructions atthe front of this guide.
