Installing the Drives
See “Drive Compatibility Issues” on page 1-23 .
If you are installing an SDLT 600 drive, make sure that Field Bill 102181 was
installed. The field bill replaces the internal fan finger guard with a perforated
steel plate to comply with emissions standards.
Use the information in the following paragraphs if you ordered a library that did not have
the drives already installed, or if you want to add more drives to your library.
Note: Because the drive is part of the drive tray assembly, you will actually be installing
the assembly.
You should always add drives by starting at the empty slot nearest the top and working
downward. The drive numbers are assigned from top (0) to bottom (3). By adding drives
in this order, the client software will correctly reflect the drives previously installed.
If you already have some drives installed, observe these precautions before beginning:
CAUTION:
Possible data loss or system problem: If you must disconnect the
external SCSI cables, make sure that you stop all processes attached to
this system.
• If the drives are daisy-chained, stop all data processing on the channel to which the
drives are connected before disconnecting the drives.
• Make sure that there is no activity on the SCSI bus before disconnecting the external
SCSI cables. Stop all processes on the client-server computer.
• Make sure that all signals are terminated at each end of the SCSI bus.
• Do not mix single-ended and differential terminators.

Lifting hazard: Depending upon the drive type, each drive and tray
