a. For a SCSI drive, loosen the two thumb screws that hold the SCSI cable and
terminator in place by turning them counterclockwise. Disconnect the cable
and terminator from the drive being removed.
b. For a Fibre Channel drive, unplug the fibre cable.
3.
Loosen the two thumb screws (

Replacing a Drive
1. Align the drive sled with the guide rails and guide slots along the tracks (
3
in Figure 11-4 on page 11-7) and slowly slide the drive into the library module,
while supporting it from underneath.
Attention: If the drive has a tape in it, remove the tape before installing the
drive in you library.
2. Tighten the two thumb screws (
2
in Figure 11-5 on page 11-8) that hold the
drive in place by turning them clockwise.
3. Reconnect the drive sled cable.
a. For a SCSI drive sled, plug the cable and terminator into the drive sled.
Tighten the thumb screws that hold the SCSI cable and terminator in place
by turning them clockwise.
Attention: Visually inspect the connectors on the SCSI cable before
installing it. If the cable or terminator connector has bent pins, replace the
part.
b. For a Fibre Channel drive sled, connect the fibre cable.
Attention: Fibre Channel connections have no terminator and require a
different type of plug. Each plug is connected to the Fibre network through
a separate cable.
Check the cable for possible damages such as scratches which have
damaged the cable insolation. If the cable is damaged, replace it to avoid
possible connection problems.
Ensure that the fibre connector is securely locked in the socket of the drive.
You can hear a ″click″ when the connector is securely installed.
4. Vary the drives online.
v From the Operator Panel, select Operation → Change Drive Mode.
v From the Web User Interface, select Manage Drives → Change State of
Drives.
