HP StorageWorks DAT USB Tape Drives User Guide (DW049-90916, June 2010)

Three USB cables are provided with the tape drive to support connection to three types of internal
USB port:
• A USB cable with a 4–pin Intel connector (blue)
• A USB cable with a 4–pin ProLiant connector (red)
• A standard USB cable
NOTE:
If your server does not have an internal USB port, you must purchase and install a separate USB HBA
with an internal port before you install the tape drive. See http://www.hp.com/go/connect for
recommended products.
To check whether your server has an internal USB port:
• Look at the diagram on the inside of the side panel of the server to establish whether the server
has an internal USB port and its location. The internal USB port may have a 4-pin or a standard
USB connector.
• The 4-pin USB connector on the system board may be orientated vertically or horizontally.
