■ To replace a tape drive
Procedure
1
Before installing the new drive, inspect the connectors on the tape drive. Ensure that the
connectors are intact, free of any foreign objects, and have no cracks or deformed or bent
contacts.
2
Slowly insert the new tape drive into the drive bay, and align the connectors on the library
while supporting the drive assembly (see
Figure 5.3 ).

Push the tape drive slowly into the drive bay until the drive seats itself against the back of
the library.
4
Push the Product ID Foil back underneath the drive sled. When inserted properly, only the
handle of the Foil will be visible.
5
Tighten the captive thumbscrews until the drive is secure.
If you are adding an additional tape drive to your library, or if you are upgrading an existing drive, be
sure to use supported cabling configurations.
