Removal
Note:
For dual half-height tape drive canisters, repeat the tape drive
power off process for both drives in the canister. If you do not
power down both tape drives before removing the tape drive
canister, operations in progress can be interrupted causing a
backup job to fail and/or leave a tape cartridge in one of the
tape drives.
Caution:
Make sure the thumbscrews are loosened fully before
trying to remove the sub-plate.
Note:
Native Fibre Channel drives and dual half-height drives do
not have a SCSI sub-plate. Continue with
step 3
