Step 3 – Install the tape drive
➤ Important Do not insert your fingers in the tape
drive door.
1. As shown in the previous figure, insert the tape drive into the
slot with the lever to the right. Make sure the lever is closed.
The tape drive should slide easily toward the back.
2. When the drive is almost completely inside the slot, you will
feel some resistance. This is caused by the connection between
the library’s controller card and the tape drive. To seat the
connection, push firmly against the drive until you can push
no further.
3. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the captive screw on
each end of the drive carrier faceplate (two screws).
Step 4 – Resume library operations
1. Connect the power cord to the back of the library and to the
outlet.
2. Close and lock the library’s door.
3. Power on the library.
Note: When you replace a tape drive, the new tape drive
automatically assumes the SCSI ID of the old tape
drive. See page 52 if you want to change the ID.
