About this Document
This document provides instructions for installing the HP
StorageWorks DLT VS 40/80 GB Tape Drive into a server.
Required Tools
The following items may be required for DLT VS 40/80 GB
tape drive installation:
■Torx T-15 screwdriver
■Type 1A, Phillips screwdriver
Unpacking the Tape Drive
Caution: If the room in which you are unpacking the drive
differs from the temperature at which the tape drive was
shipped or stored by 30º F (15º C) or more, let the drive
acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12
hours before opening the shipping carton.
Unpack and inspect the tape drive for shipping damage:
1. Inspect the shipping box for damage. If you notice any
damage, report it to the shipping company immediately.
2. Open the shipping box and remove the accessories
package. Open the accessories package; you will need these
items during installation.
3. With the drive still in the shipping box, reach under and
around the drive. Carefully lift it out of the shipping box
and place it on the work surface, top facing up. Do not
stand the drive on either end.
4. Carefully remove the drive from the protective bag.
Note: Save the packing materials in case you need to move or ship
the drive in the future. You must ship the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape
drive in the original or equivalent packing materials to preserve
your warranty.

Setting the SCSI ID
Each SCSI device attached to the server that is to be the host
for the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive must have a unique SCSI
ID. Check the SCSI IDs on all other devices attached to the
selected SCSI bus, including the SCSI host adapter itself, on
the selected server and select an unused SCSI ID for the tape
drive. If the drive factory default SCSI ID 6 is not being used
by another device on the same SCSI bus, you do not need to
change the SCSI ID.

3SCSI ID jumpers
Note: If the tape drive is attached to a narrow SCSI bus, only IDs 0
through 7 are valid.
Locate the SCSI ID jumpers on the rear panel of the drive as
shown in Figure 1. Use Figure 2 to select the desired SCSI ID.
Figure 2: SCSI ID settings
Note: The SCSI ID can be set up to 15, but a SCSI ID above 6 is not
recommended.
Note: SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the controller.
Terminating the Tape Drive
If the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive is the only SCSI device –
other than the SCSI host adapter – on the selected server, it
must be terminated. Likewise, if the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape
drive is the last device on the selected server SCSI bus, it must
be terminated.
The DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive ships with a ribbon cable
that is already terminated as shown in Figure 3. If you use a
cable other than the one provided, be sure that the cable is
terminated at each end.

Installing the Internal Tape Drive
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage
electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded
before beginning this procedure. Refer to Appendix B,
“Electrostatic Discharge,” in the HP StorageWorks DLT VS
40/80 GB Tape Drive Reference Guide for additional
information.
1. Shut down the operating system and power off the selected
server. Turn off all attached peripherals such as printers and
other SCSI devices. Remove the power cable from the host
server and all attached peripherals.
Caution: Failure to follow these instructions could result in
damage to the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive or other
devices.
2. Remove the cover from the host server to allow access to
the desired drive bay.
Note: Your server may differ from the following illustrations; refer to
the documentation included with your server.

3. Install an LVD/SE SCSI host adapter in the server that is to
be the host for the drive, if necessary.
4. If necessary, attach the drive rails that ship with the drive.
Note: Your server may supply rails in the drive bay. Refer to your
server user guide for information on the correct rails to use with your
server.
5. Insert the drive into an available 5 1/4-inch drive bay.
Note: You may need to remove the front cover from the drive bay.
Refer to the documentation included with your server.
6. Secure the tape drive into the server according to the
documentation included with the server.
7. Connect an available power cable and the wide SCSI signal
cable.

8. Attach the other end of the SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI
host adapter.
9. Replace the cover on the server.
10. Plug in the AC power cords for any peripheral devices and
power all of them on.
11. Plug in the AC power cord for the server and power it on.
Verifying the Installation
Every time the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive is powered on, it
conducts a Power-On Self-Test (POST) to ensure that the drive
is working properly and ready to use.
While POST is in progress, watch the front panel LEDs to see
the progress and results of the test. During POST, the following
actions take place:
1. The LEDs turn on all at once and then turn off.
2. The Ready (green) LED remains illuminated after POST.
3. The drive emits a buzzing sound as the drive calibrates the
read/write head's position.
POST is complete only after the buzzing sound stops. POST
takes several seconds to complete, after which the drive is
ready to use. Refer to Chapter 5, “Operating the DLT VS 40/80
GB Tape Drive,” in the HP StorageWorks DLT VS 40/80 GB
Tape Drive Reference Guide.
