Installing the New Tape Drive Canister
0
To install the new tape drive canister:
1
Remove the SCSI sub-plate from the new tape drive:
a
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the two thumbscrews on the
SCSI sub-plate (see
figure 5
).
b
Pull the SCSI sub-plate from the drive.
c
Save the SCSI sub-plate.
Note:
This disconnects the SCSI bus from the tape drive, but allows
the SCSI connectors on the sub-plate to remain connected. Do
not disconnect these cables.
Caution:
Make sure the thumbscrew is loosened fully before trying
to remove the tape drive.
Note:
If this is a native Fibre Channel tape drive, disconnect the Fibre
Channel cable prior to removing the tape drive.
Note:
Each tape drive ships from Quantum with a version of library
firmware as well as drive firmware on the tape drive interface
PWA. When you install the tape drive, the library will check the
version of library firmware on the tape drive and verify if the
firmware is newer than the version currently running. If the library
firmware on the tape drive is newer than the version currently
running on the library, the OCP will prompt you with the option to
upgrade the library firmware.
Note:
Native Fibre Channel drives do not have a SCSI sub-plate.
Continue with
step 2
.
Caution:
Make sure the thumbscrews are loosened fully before
trying to remove the sub-plate.
