Before Installing the LTO-5 Tape Drive 3

LTO-5

Preinstallation

Requirements

Before installing the LTO-5 Tape Drive, make sure you have:

• A serial SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) installed and properly configured in the host

computer

• Interface components, either:

• 29-pin SFF-8482 SAS cable

• 26-pin SFF-8088 mini-SAS style interface cable for a tabletop drive

• Backup application software that supports the tape drive.

Handling Precautions

• Internal drives have exposed components that are

sensitive to static electricity. To reduce the possibility of

damage from static discharge, the drives are packaged

in a protective antistatic bag. Do not remove the drive

from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

• Wear an ESD-preventive grounding wrist strap or

observe similar ESD precautions when working with the

drive. Be sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact.

Do not remove the wrist strap until you finish working

with the drive.

Also, avoid contact between the drive, other equipment,

and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the

equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD

voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Before removing the drive from the antistatic bag, touch

a grounded metal surface to discharge any static

electricity buildup from your body.

• Handle the drive by its sides rather than by the top cover

to reduce the risk of dropping the drive or damaging it

during installation.

• Either lay the drive on a nonconductive surface or put it

back inside the protective antistatic bag to reduce the

chance of damage from static discharge

Installation Guidelines

• For optimum performance, do not connect more than

two LTO-5 drives to the same host bus adapter (HBA).
