7.9.7 Removing the Tape Drives
Remove any tape drives from the module being replaced. The library tracks the drive locations and will
issue events if the drives aren't in the expected locations. Note the drive locations so they can be
replaced in the same order.
Use your fingers to loosen the blue captive thumbscrews on the tape drive.
Pull straight back on the tape drive handle while supporting the bottom of the drive to remove it from the
module.
CAUTION
Support the bottom of the tape drive when removing it to avoid
damaging any of the internal connections.
7.9.8 Removing the Module from the Rack
Obtain assistance to lift and stabilize the module during removal and replacement.
1.
Go to the front of the library, use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the screws two full turns
on the target module and any adjacent modules.
2.
Go to the back of the library, unlock the alignment mechanisms connecting the module with
the adjacent modules.
3.
Go back to the front of the library, use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the captive screws fully
on the module to be removed and slide the module out of the rack
