Figure 23 Connecting cables to all other LTO Ultrium tape drives
SAS connector to tape drive2.Power connector1.
CAUTION: Never use a cable where power is supplied through the SAS connector because
this may damage the drive. Always use a spare power cord from the server's internal power
supply. This caution does not apply to LTO–6 Ultrium 6650 and LTO–5 Ultrium 3280 tape
drives.
6. If you have lost the use of a disk bay, we strongly recommend that you attach the supplied
sticker to the blanking plate of the disk bay to show that it is disconnected.
NOTE: If you subsequently install a hard disk in this bay, it will not work. This does not mean
there is a fault with either the disk or the server.
7. Now go to Secure the drive (page 26).
Secure the drive
NOTE: The server latches and side views of your server model may not be exactly the same as
shown in the illustrations. Please refer to your server documentation.
Mounting hardware used
Ensure that you use the correct mounting rails or locating screws, as described in Attach mounting
hardware - some servers (page 16). The server used in the illustration below has a locking
mechanism to hold the tape drive in place.
