you.
8 Install a cover plate over the vacant Drive CRU bay. Use a screwdriver to mount the plate.

Removing and Replacing a Drive CRU
These instructions explain how to remove a Drive CRU and replace it with a new one.
You can NOT remove a tape drive while the library is powered on. Required tools: None.
1 Prepare host applications for tape drive removal.
2 If there is a cartridge in the Drive, use the remote management interface to eject it.
3 Power off the library.
4 Disconnect the host interface cables from the Drive CRU that you want to remove.
5 From the back of the library, loosen the Drive CRUs thumbscrews.
6 Remove the tape drive by gripping the thumbscrews and pulling the entire tape drive toward you.
7 Add the new tape drive to the vacant slot. Using the guide rails on both the tape drive and the
tape drive bay, slowly slide the tape drive into the bay. The tape drive must be level to slide in
smoothly.
8 Tighten the tape drive’s thumbscrews to secure the tape drive to the module. Tighten the
thumbscrews simultaneously; see Figure 23 Adding, Removing or Replacing a Drive CRU.
The thumbscrews must be aligned with the module’s screw holes. If they are not aligned, the tape
drive was not inserted correctly.
9 Connect the host interface cables to the tape drive. If the drive CRU is a SCSI drive, and the drive
is the last device on the bus, you must also connect the SCSI terminator.
10 Power on the library.
11 If necessary, update Drive firmware by following the instructions provided in the Updating
Firmware . The library can use the tape drive immediately after the tape drive firmware is
downloaded.
