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
You need a 5¼-inch, half-height bay in which to install the tape drive. If you
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.
