1. Locate the next vacant drive bay on the back of the Library, which should be directly above the
currently installed drives. The MSL8048 and MSL8096 only have drive connectors at the locations
of the full-height drives, so you must leave a half-height space above a half-height drive, as shown
in Figure 104.

NOTE:
Tape drives are numbered from the bottom of the Library up starting with 1. If you leave a space
and later add a drive in the space, the new drive will be assigned the next available number,
leaving the drives numbered out of order. If the settings are restored to the factory defaults or
the Library is power-cycled, the drives will be renumbered and you might need to update the
configuration of your backup software.
NOTE:
The MSL4048 Library will not operate with a full-height tape drive installed in the second and
third half-height drive bays. Install a full-height tape drive either in the bottom two drive bays or
the top two drive bays.
Remove the face plate covering the drive bay by removing the screws holding it in place.
