Before installing the tape drive, verify the
configuration details for the specific tape drive and
server combination that you are installing. For
current information about supported SAS HBAs and
cabling configurations, see the compatibility matrix
guide at:

Preparing the server
External tape drives connect to a SAS Smart Array
controller or SAS HBA that supports tape devices
and has an external SAS connector. If the server
does not have an active external SAS port, install
an additional HBA with an external SAS connector.
For current information about supported SAS HBAs,
see the Data Agile BURA Compatibility Matrix at:

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends installing
the tape drivers on the server before connecting
the tape drive. Use the Tape driver with the
Windows operating systems unless the software
application requires a different driver. For driver,
firmware, and software updates, see drivers &
downloads on the support website:
