To connect the SAS cable:
1.
Power off the server.
2.
If the server does not have an active external
SAS port, install the new HBA.
3.
Plug the SAS cable Mini SAS connector into
the Mini SAS port on the tape drive.
4.
Plug the connector on the other end of the SAS
cable into the SAS port on the server.
5.
Connect the power cord to the tape drive.
6.
Connect the other end of the power cord to a
grounded power outlet.
WARNING!
approved for your specific geographic region.
Use of a non-Hewlett Packard Enterprise
approved power cord can result in: 1) not
meeting individual country specific safety
requirements; 2) insufficient conductor
ampacity that could result in overheating with
potential personal injury and/or property
damage; and 3) an unapproved power cord
could fracture resulting in the internal
contacts being exposed, which potentially
could subject the user to a shock hazard.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise disclaims all
liability in the event a non-Hewlett Packard
Enterprise approved power cord is used.
Powering on the drive and the server
Power on the tape drive and then the server. The
tape drive power button is on the front panel.
If the BIOS for the controller in your server displays
connected devices, watch the server boot screen
to verify that the new SAS tape drive is listed in the
boot sequence.
If you see any error or unexpected messages, verify
that the SAS cables are connected correctly. If this
does not resolve the problem, see the user guide
for further troubleshooting information.
NOTE:
to attach an external tape drive directly to the
external SAS port and the tape drive does
not function, the port might be inactive or not
supported for external tape devices.
The tape drive runs a hardware self-test, which
takes up to 21 seconds.
If the self-test passes, the green Ready LED flashes
and then remains illuminated.
If the test fails for a mechanical fault, the Drive Error
LED flashes while the Ready LED is illuminated.
For any other failure, the Drive Error and Tape Error
LEDs flash, while the Ready and Clean LEDs are
off. This continues until the drive is reset.
