StorageExpress(TM) system: How to Add the 5 or 5/10 GB Tape Drive Option
ADD THE 5 GIGABYTE OR 5/10 GIGABYTE TAPE UPGRADE OPTION
Installing the new Tape Drive
1. Power down the CPU unit and peripheral unit. Disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet. Then unplug all connections between the
CPU unit and the peripheral unit. Remove the CPU unit from the top
of the peripheral unit.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the back of the
peripheral unit. Save the screw for use in Step 13.
3. Pull the cover firmly towards the back of the peripheral unit and
lift up to expose the inside.
4. Remove the filler plate from the front of the peripheral unit. Pry
up gently on the catch pins with a flathead screwdriver and push
inwards with your fingers to release the plate.
5. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the bottom of
the peripheral unit. Save the screw for use in Step 8.
6. Remove the tape unit from the anti-static bag and remove the clear
protective plastic cover from the back of the tape drive. Peel the
protective film from the tape drive window.
7. Align the new tape drive with the four slots on the bottom of the
peripheral unit. Push firmly toward the front of the peripheral
unit. You may need to hold the cables aside with one hand.
8. Use a Phillips screwdriver to replace the screw you removed in Step
5.
9. Connect the power cable to the new tape drive.
10.Connect the SCSI cable to the new tape drive. Push firmly until
pins on either side of the SCSI cable receptor click inward.
11.Set the SCSI ID of the new tape drive using the DIP switch found
next to the SCSI cable connector on the tape drive:
Note: If you have an older peripheral unit with an external
SCSI Selector switch, we recommend you disconnect the SCSI Selector
switch cable and use the on-board SCSI ID switches.
12.Replace the peripheral unit's cover.
13.Replace the screw you removed in Step 2.
14.Connect all cables between the peripheral unit and the CPU unit.
Connect the power cable to a wall outlet. After you turn on the
power, both the green and amber LEDs will come on.
* No tape in drive: Both LEDs turn off in about 30 seconds.
* Tape in drive: The amber LED turns off in about 30 seconds. The
green LED comes on for 30 seconds, flashes for 30 seconds, then
