additional 51378-B21 Integrity Smart Array P711m HBA running 6.22 firmware or later to boot from
an Ultrium 6250 tape drive.
Procedure

Some DVD drives might also require a separate power connection.
c. Turn on the external USB DVD device.
2. Insert the OS media into the USB DVD device or tape device.
