Install the library in the rack
1. Slide the library onto the rails.
2. From the front of the library, secure the front bezel to the rack using a #2 Phillips screw
driver placed through the small holes in the mounting bracket. Tighten the captive screws
on each side of the library until they are seated.
Installing tape drives
1. Locate an appropriate vacant drive bay on the back of the library.
The first tape drive should be installed in the bottom drive bay. Install each additional tape
drive in the drive bay directly above the existing tape drives. If you leave a space and later
add a tape drive in the space, the new tape drive will be assigned the next higher drive
number, leaving the tape drives numbered out of order. If the settings are restored to the
factory defaults or the library is power-cycled, the drives will be renumbered and you might
need to update the configuration of your backup servers.
NOTE: The library will not operate with a full-height tape drive installed in the second and
third half-height drive bays. Install a full-height tape drive either in the bottom two drive bays
or the top two drive bays.
NOTE: If you plan to partition the library into two logical libraries, the second tape drive
must be installed in the third drive half-height bay. For tape drive locations for two logical
libraries and additional information about partitioning, see the user and service guide.
2. Remove the face plate covering the drive bay by removing the screws holding it in place.
Remove one drive bay cover to install a half-height tape drive; remove two drive bay covers
to install a full-height tape drive.
3. Holding the tape drive by the handle and supporting it from the bottom, position the drive on
the alignment rails and then slide the tape drive into the drive bay until it is flush with the
back of the library.
