Installation Procedure
To install tape drives:
1. The 24Q has space for two half-height tape drives, and the 48Q has space for four half-height
tape drives. Always install the first tape drive in the bottom of the drive bay. A drive bay
cover must be installed over any empty drive positions.
2. If a drive cover is present, loosen the screws and remove the cover to install one half-height
tape drive.
3. When installing the bottom drive, slightly pull out the tab of the product ID label so it does
not interfere with the inse
rtion or removal of the
tape drive.
4. Before installing the drive, inspect th
e connectors on it. Ensure that the connectors are
intact, free of any foreign objects, and have no cracks, or deformed or bent contacts.
