Replacing a tape drive (or drive blank)
You can install an Exabyte Mammoth or Eliant 820 tape drive into
your library.
➤ Important You must purchase the tape drive
pre-installed in the carrier.
You cannot combine Exabyte Mammoth tape
drives with any other type of drive in the same
library. However, if you already own an older
model library that contains Exabyte 8505XL tape
drives, you can combine them with Eliant 820 tape
drives.
Note: If you want to upgrade a library containing Eliant 820 or
Exabyte 8505XL tape drives to Exabyte Mammoth tape
drives, you must obtain an upgrade kit from Exabyte.
Using drive blanks
If you are using fewer than four tape drives, you must install a
drive blank in each of the unused drive carrier slots. You cannot
operate the library with empty drive carrier slots.
If your library has a narrow SCSI configuration, use the narrow
SCSI drive blank. If your library has a wide SCSI configuration,
use the wide SCSI drive blank.
Note: The library is shipped with one extra drive blank in the
accessory box.
