Preinstallation

Requirements

Before installing the LTO-5 Tape Drive, make sure you have:

• A serial SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) installed and properly

configured in the host computer

• Interface components, either:

• 29-pin SAS SFF-8482 cable for an internal or rackmount drive

• 26-pin SFF-8088 mini-SAS style interface cable for a tabletop

drive

• Backup application software that supports the tape drive. For a list

of the backup software applications that have been tested with the

LTO-5 Tape Drive, contact your sales representative

Unpacking and

Inspecting the Drive

Although each LTO-5 Tape Drive is inspected and carefully packaged at

the factory, damage can occur:

• In shipment

• When being unpacked

Observe the handling precautions listed in Handling Precautions and

Installation Guidelines and carefully unpack and inspect the LTO-5 Tape

Drive as follows:

Handling Precautions

(continued)

• Handle the drive by its sides rather

than by the top cover to reduce the risk

of dropping the drive or damaging it

during installation.

• Either lay the drive on a nonconductive

surface or put it back inside the

protective antistatic bag to reduce the

chance of damage from static

discharge

Installation Guidelines

Due to the high speed of the LTO-5 Tape

Drive, do not connect more than one

LTO-5 drive to the same channel on a

host SCSI adapter.
