To install a Travan 20GB tape drive follow the simple steps listed below.

• To protect your computer and drive from static electricity, install the drive in an uncarpeted area and ground yourself frequently on a grounded metal object (such as the frame of your computer) before opening the anti-static bag or touching any components within your computer.
• Turn off your computer and any peripheral devices before installing the drive.

You will need flat-bladed and Phillips screwdrivers to complete the installation. In addition,

• If your computer has only a single IDE port, you will need to purchase and install an ATAPI host adapter to provide a secondary IDE port for the tape drive.
• If no drives are presently attached to your secondary IDE port, you will probably need to purchase a 40-pin IDE interface cable for your tape drive.
