If you need to configure a tape drive or a single SSD for operating system access it will need to be configured as a "Pass-through disk". 

Open the Arcsap utility and select the "ARC-1886-8I" Device under "LocalHost".   Right click and select "New Pass-Through Disk"

Select device as "Pass-Through" and click Create.

Verify Pass-Through device by expanding ARC-1886-8I and clicking on the Pass through device. 

Your device is now "Pass-Through" and will be detected by the host operating system.
