Installing tape drives
When possible, install all tape drives during the initial library installation process before the library is
powered on. When installing additional tape drives after the library has been powered on, follow the
instructions included with the tape drive.
TIP:
To assist in aligning the drive, only remove the drive bay covers for one drive at a time.
CAUTION:
All drive bays without tape drives installed must have drive bay covers installed.
Procedure
1.
Locate an appropriate vacant drive bay on the back of the library.
NOTE:
A full-height drive can only be installed in the bottom two half-height drive bays. A full-height drive
cannot be seated in other locations and will not operate. If the drive will not seat completely, verify that
it is located in the correct drive bays.
2.
Remove the face plate covering the drive bay by removing the screws holding it in place.
Remove one drive bay cover to install a half-height tape drive; remove two drive bay covers to install a
full-height tape drive.
3.
Holding the tape drive by the handle and supporting it from the bottom, slide the tape drive along the
alignment rails into the drive bay until it is flush with the back of the library.
