WARNING!
The supplied power cord is HP approved for your specific geographic region. Use of a non-HP
approved power cord may 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. HP disclaims all liability
in the event a non-HP approved power cord is used.
Connecting the tape drive to an external SAS port
The following instructions are valid ONLY for non-HP or HP ProLiant servers with an HBA that supports
external SAS ports.
This installation connects the tape drive directly to the external port. The supplied cable is appropriate
for connecting to an external mini-SAS port. If you are installing a new HBA, it requires a spare PCI
slot for the new HBA. See http://www.hp.com/go/connect for recommended products.
1. If installing a new HBA, power off the server and follow the instructions supplied with the HBA
to install it and its driver.
2. Connect the SAS cable to the external SAS connector on the new HBA.
