Before You Start: Check System Prerequisites
To install and use your new tape drive, you will need the following:
• SCSI host adapter
• SCSI ribbon cable
• Available 5¼-inch (or 3½-inch), half-height bay
• Mounting hardware, if required
• Backup software that supports the tape drive
SCSI Host Adapter
You need a properly installed and configured SCSI host adapter or a built-
in SCSI controller on your computer’s motherboard (SCSI-2 or SCSI-3
compliant). Consult your supplier for details.
Ifyouare installingon a Windows®95,Windows98,WindowsNTor Novell
NetWare system, you can use HP TapeAssure to check your computer’s
SCSI configuration, as directed on page 1-6.
HP SureStore DAT Drives and SCSI
AllHPSureStoreDATdrives, apartfromtheHP SureStore DAT40arefast
narrow SCSI devices and should be connected to a single-ended (SE) host
bus adapter.
The HP SureStore DAT40 drive is an ultra wide SCSI device. For optimum
performance it should be connectedtoa low voltagedifferential(LVD)SCSI
host adapter. HP SureStore DAT40 drives may also be connected to SE
(single-ended) SCSI host adapters, but cable length will be restricted to the
SE rather than the LVD specification.
If you would like more information on SCSI specifications and configuring
your SCSI bus, read the “SCSI Background” topic in the “Before You Start”
section of the electronic User’s Guide on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.
SCSI Ribbon Cable
You need a SCSI ribbon cable with the correct termination.
Tape 5000, DAT8 and DAT24 drives have a 50-pin narrow SCSI connector.
If your computer uses wide SCSI, use the supplied 50-to-68-pin adapter to
connect the drive (50 pins) into the wide SCSI bus (68 pins).
Dat-int.bk Page 3 Wednesday, May 26, 1999 10:46 AM

HP SureStore DAT
Installation Guide
1-4
The DAT 40 drive has a 68-pin wide, high-density SCSI connector. If your
computer uses narrow SCSI, use a 68-to-50-pin adapter to connect the
DAT40 drive (68 pins) into the narrow SCSI bus (50 pins). This adapter
must be purchased separately (part number C7423A). See the electronic
DAT Media and Orderable Accessories Guide on the HP SureStore Tape
CD-ROM for ordering information.
Half-Height Bay
Youneeda5¼-inch,half-height bayinwhichto installthetapedrive.Ifyou
have 3½-inch bays, use the supplied 5¼ to 3½-inch conversion kit.
Mounting Rails
For many servers, no tray or rails are required. Devices simply slide into
the computer’s chassis and are fixed with screws.
Some servers require special mounting tray or rails to fix the drive into the
empty bay. The drive comes with mounting hardware for HP NetServer L-
series, E-series, Kayak, Brio and Vectra computers and, for DAT8i, DAT24i
and DAT40i drives only, Compaq servers. (Not all HP NetServer E-series
and Compaq servers require rails.)
Rails for Dell servers may be ordered separately. Different models of server
require different rail kits.
• Order HP accessory C5731A for Dell 2100/2200 servers
• Order HP accessory C5732A for Dell 2300/4100/6100 servers
• Order Dell accessory 86194 for Dell 4300/6300 servers
Other computers use non-standard mounting rails and do not include
spares. If this is the case with your system, you will have to order these
accessories from the computer manufacturer before you can install the tape
drive.

Step 1: Check the Drive’s SCSI ID
Note Your HP SureStore DAT drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3, but
it can be assigned any unused ID between 0 and 6. Do not use SCSI ID 7,
which is reserved for the SCSI controller, or SCSI ID 0, which is typically
assigned to the boot disk.
HP SureStore DAT40 drives can be assigned any unused ID between 0
and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7 or SCSI ID 0.
1Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 3.
If you are installing on a Windows 95/98, Windows NT or NetWare system,
install HP TapeAssure from the Software page on the HP SureStore Tape
CD-ROM and run it to check your computer’s current SCSI configuration.
See “Installing and Using HP TapeAssure” on page 1-8 for more
information about installing and running HP TapeAssure.
If you are installing on a UNIX® system, check the electronic User’s Guide
on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM, for instructions on how to determine
theSCSIIDsof existing devices.See page 1-22 forinstructionsonusingthe
HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.
2Change the tape drive’s SCSI ID, if necessary.
The SCSI ID is set using jumpers on a set of pins at the rear of the drive.
Use your fingers to move the jumpers to the pattern corresponding to the
ID you want. Do not remove the TERM PWR jumper. It should always be
set.
Spare jumpers will either be on switch itself (but only attached to a single
pin) or in the accessories box.
• For HP SureStore Tape 5000i, HP SureStore DAT 8i and DAT24i
models, see figure 1.1.
• For HP SureStore DAT40i models, see figure 1.2.
Caution Static electricity can damage electronic components. To equalize the
electromagnetic charges, touch a bare metal part of the computer (such as
the back plate) before you remove the tape drive from its bag.

Step 3: Prepare the Mounting Bay
Caution To avoid damaging the computer or tape drive, ensure that the computer
is powered off while you install the drive.
Static electricity can damage electronic components. After you have
disconnected power from the computer and removed the cover, touch a
bare metal part of the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the
drive before installing it.
1Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
❑Phillips screwdriver
❑Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your computer uses slotted screws)
❑Torx screwdriver (if your computer uses torx screws)
❑Your computer manuals (for reference during installation)
2Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the computer and any
connected peripherals.
3Remove the cover from the computer.
As you work inside the computer, you may have to disconnect the SCSI
cable or power cable from other devices to maneuver the new drive into
place. If you have to do this, make a note of their position and connections
so you can put them back correctly later.
4Remove the front cover plate from a spare 5¼-inch (or 3½-inch) bay of your
computer. Keep any screws for use in step 7 on page 1-19.
5If you will be installing the tape drive in a 3½-inch bay, you need to use the
conversion kit as described below, so that the drive will fit into your
computer. If your computerhas 5¼-inch bays, proceedto step4 on page 1-14
