Installing/Removing a hot-swap Magnetic
Tape Drive
A hot-swap tape drive can be installed optionally in the drive cage or in the HDD
extension box. Two mounting locations are occupied as a result in the drive cage
or in the HDD extension box, which are then no longer available for HDD
modules. This magnetic tape drive can be replaced online.
V
CAUTION!
Please observe the safety information in chapter “Important Notes” on
page 13.
The optional hot-swap magnetic tape drive may only be installed in the two top
or right-hand mounting locations in the drive cage or HDD extension box. The
dummy modules installed in each of the slots should be removed.
Ê
Remove the dummy modules from the two slots (see section
“Installing/Removing HDD Module” on page 83).
V
CAUTION!
Keep the dummy modules. If the drive is removed and not replaced
with a new drive, the dummy module must be reinstalled due to
cooling, to comply with applicable EMC regulations (regulations on
electromagnetic compatibility) and to protect against fire.
The hot-swap magnetic tape drives that can be ordered for the PRIMERGY
TX300 are delivered preinstalled on carriers. The magnetic tape drive may only
be removed from the carrier by personnel with the appropriate technical training
in compliance with the appropriate ESD guidelines (see section “Modules with
electrostatic-sensitive components:” on page 18).
