4. Connect the new SAS cable supplied with the tape drive to the HBA, the tape

drive, and the hard disk drive bay.

5. Connect the server power cable to the tape drive power connector. 0

6. If required, attach a bay-disconnected note to the empty hard disk drive bay. 0

If this option disconnects one of your hard disk drive bays, you will not be able to use

the disk bay after installation. If you install a hard disk in this bay, the disk will not

work. This does not mean there is a fault with either the hard disk or the server.

As a future reminder, attach a note indicating that the bay has been disconnected to the

the blanking plate of the hard disk drive bay.

7. Power up the server.

Replace server covers and power up the server.

Watch the boot screen carefully, and verify that the new SAS tape drive is listed in the

boot sequence.

If there are any errors or unexpected messages, go back and check the SAS cabling

carefully.

8. Install the driver.

If you have not already installed the driver, do it now.

• For Windows, the driver is available at www.quantum.com/support.

• For Linux, refer to www.quantum.com/support for configuration information.

9. Upgrade your backup application software.

Always upgrade your backup application software to make sure it works correctly with

the tape drive. We do NOT recommend native backup applications, such as Windows

Backup, because they do not support the full features of the tape drive and could cause

performance problems.

Installing the Tape Drive/Option 3

Install and Connect to a New Host Bus Adapter

The following instructions are valid IF you cannot connect to the host SAS controller on

your server and need to purchase an additional SAS HBA. This will be the case for

some servers. You might also choose this option if connection to your server would

disconnect one of your hard disk drive bays.

1. Install the new HBA.

Follow the instructions supplied with the HBA to install the new SAS HBA.

2. Attach the mounting hardware.

If required, use the appropriate mounting hardware supplied with your server or with

the tape drive. Refer to your server documentation.

3. Install the tape drive.

4. Connect the SAS cable supplied with the tape drive to the new HBA and the

tape drive.

5. Connect the server power cable to the tape drive power connector. 0

6. Power up the server. 0

Replace server covers and power up the server.

Watch the boot screen carefully, and verify that the new SAS tape drive is listed in the

boot sequence.

If there are any errors or unexpected messages, go back and check the SAS cabling

carefully.

Selecting and Handling Media

For optimum performance and storage capacity, always use DAT 160 cartridges with

your tape drive, and normally use only one cartridge per day.

Table 1 Ultrium Data Cartridge Compatibility

* Capacity assumes 2:1 compression.

It pays to look after your media. Many tape drive and backup failures are caused by

damaged or badly handled tape media.

• Keep media in the case provided.

• Follow the temperature, humidity and acclimitization guidelines on the media

packaging.

• Avoid dropping it or rough handling, as this is likely to damage the cartridge.

• Inspect it regularly for damage.

• Do not exceed normal cartridge life (100 full volume backup or restore operations).

Part 6

Getting Additional Information

• See www.quantum.com/support for product documentation, updates and com-

patibility information, and up-to-date product information.

• If necessary, technical help can be obtained from Quantum Global Services. Contact

details are available at www.quantum.com.

Tech Tip: If cable access for the tape drive bay is awkward, it might be easier to

access power and other connections if the tape drive is installed in the

top bay. You might need to move other devices to lower bays to achieve

this.

Note: This will leave unused cabling within the server because the ‘B’ connector is

not required in this configuration. Neatly coil and secure the unused cabling

so that it does not interfere with other components inside the server.

Clean – amber • On: cleaning cartridge in use.

• Off: the drive does not require cleaning.

• Flashing: the drive needs cleaning.

Tape – amber • Off: no fault has been detected.

• Flashing: the cartridge currently in the drive is faulty (damaged

or unsupported). Discard the cartridge.

Drive – amber • Off: no fault has been detected.

• Flashing: the drive mechanism has detected a hardware error.

Ready – green • On: the drive is ready for use.

• Off: the drive power is off or there was a failure during self-test.

• Flashing: the drive is busy.

Note: Quantum DAT 160 data and cleaning cartridges can only be used with DAT

160 tape drives; they are wider than earlier formats and will not fit into

earlier model tape drives.
