2
Slowly insert the new tape drive into the library until the connectors are
seated.

Tighten the tape drive thumbscrew using a flat-blade screwdriver.

For SCSI tape drives, install the old SCSI sub-plate (still connected to the
SCSI bus) on the new tape drive. For native Fibre Channel tape drives,
reconnect the Fibre Channel cable to the tape drive.

Tighten the two sub-plate thumbscrews using a flat-blade screwdriver.

Return power to the drive by setting the
Drive Power
option to
ON
(refer
to the
Drive Operations Screen
on page 5 for OCP instructions and
Drives
Page
on page 6 for GUI instructions).
The host detects the presence of the tape drive automatically.

If the host does not detect the presence of the tape drive, check the drive
SCSI ID (from the OCP, select
Setup
,
Cabinet
, and
Host bus
to view the
SCSI IDs for the tape drives). If the drive SCSI ID is:
• Valid, the tape drive may be defective. Contact Customer Support.
• Invalid, the SCSI sub-plate has failed and needs to be replaced (see
Replacing the SCSI Sub-Plate
).
The new tape drive is installed.
