Figure 77 Removing the tape drive
To replace a tape drive:
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 Autoloader
while supporting the drive assembly until the drive seats itself against the back of the Autoloader
(see
).
CAUTION:
Push in on the tape drive handle while supporting the bottom of the tape drive
until it is properly seated. Damage to the connector pins may occur if this procedure is not
followed.
