Adding a tape drive
1. If you are adding a tape drive, remove a drive bay cover. With a Philips screwdriver, remove one half-
height drive bay cover to install one half-height drive, or remove two drive bays covers to install a full-
height tape drive.
Figure 58. Drive bay covers
Note: A full-height tape drive must be installed in the lowest bay of the module.
2. Align and slowly insert the new tape drive into the drive bay along the alignment rails ( 1 in Figure 59
on page 120) while the drive assembly is supported. The tape drive must be flush with the back panel
of the library.

3. Tighten the captive thumbscrews ( 1 in Figure 60 on page 121) with your fingers until the tape drive is
secure.
