Installing External System Devices
This section describes how to install selected peripheral devices such as tape
subsystems.
Growing numbers of storage, communications, and network options are available for
NonStop S-series servers. This section mentions some devices briefly, such as
ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrators. For detailed installation
information about products not covered in this guide, see the manuals for those
products.
Several different adapters are supported. For instructions on installing adapters, see
the manual for that adapter. For supported adapters, see the Part Numbers topic of the
Service Information section of the NTL Support and Service Library.
Installing Tape Drives
Install a tape drive only after you install the system enclosures, connect the ServerNet
cables, and connect the primary system console to the system. However, it is
recommended that you connect the tape drive before you start the system. With a tape
drive connected to a server, you can use the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities to save
data to and restore data from tape. With a tape drive connected to the PMF CRU in the
group 01 enclosure, you can dump processor memory to tape to diagnose a processor
halt.
