PowerVault ML6000 Maintenance Guide 21
Library Installation and CRU Replacement
This chapter describes how to add, remove, and replace hardware within your library. Adding, removing, or
replacing library components may require you to power off the entire library. There are a few components,
however, that you can service without powering off the library, such as tape drives. Instead, you may only
need to take a specific partition offline, or you may not need to impact the status of the library at all. See
Table 9
on page 141 to determine the state that the library must be in before you service each part.
This chapter covers:
• Cabling the Library
• Specific Instructions for LTO-5 and LTO-6 Tape Drives
• Cabling Libraries with SCSI Tape Drives
