• LTO-4 (Model B) Half-Height, SAS model TC-L43CN-EY-B

• LTO-5 Half-Height, SAS model TC-L53CN-AR

You can upgrade a single-drive enclosure to the two-drive configuration by installing a second tape drive using any supported model of the same type interface.

This guide references the instructions for installing the 1U Rackmount enclosure in an equipment rack, and provides the procedures for:

• Connecting the drive interface and power cables

• Installing a second tape drive into the 1U Rackmount enclosure

Power Requirements Power requirements for the 1U Rackmount enclosure are as follows:

• 100 to 240 Volts AC/2 to 4 Amps

• 47 to 63 Hz

Connecting the Drive Interface and Power Cables

1 Shut down and turn off the host server system.

2 T

urn off all attached accessory devices, such as printers and other SCSI devices.

e back panel of a SCSI 1U Rackmount enclosure (see Figure 1):

Note: If this is a SAS 1U rackmount enclosure, continue with Step 4.

a Connect one end of the supplied external parallel SCSI cable to parallel SCSI

connector on the same side of the enclosure as the installed tape drive.

b Connect the other end of the supplied external parallel SCSI cable to the parallel

SCSI connector on the host server.

c As required, use the parallel SCSI ID selector switch to set the SCSI ID of the

installed tape drive (see Figure 1

Note: Any time you change the parallel SCSI ID, you must turn the tape drive

power off and then back on by pressing the power button on the front panel of the 1U Rackmount enclosure.

a Connect one end of the supplied external SAS interface cable to the external SAS

interface connector on the same side of the enclosure as the installed tape drive (see Figure 2

b Connect the other end of the external SAS interface cable to the SAS connector

on the host server.

Installing a Second Tape Drive or Replacing a Tape Drive

Follow these instructions to install a second tape drive or to replace a tape drive after it has been removed.

Caution: Before installing a second tape drive, you must turn off the 1U Rackmount

enclosure and disconnect it from its AC power source.

Preinstallation Requirements

Before installing a second tape drive in the 1U Rackmount enclosure, make sure you have the following required tools and parts:

To ol s

Parts

3/16 in. (5 mm) flat-blade screwdriver T-15 Torx driver

• A supported model tape drive

• Parallel SCSI cable and terminator or SAS cable depending on the tape drive type

Installation Procedure The installation procedure is divided into the following major sections:
