Note: The small gray markers show where conductive tape is placed to provide ESD protection.
7. Push the black tab (▌8▐ in Figure 169 on page 225) back underneath the library. When inserted
properly, only the handle of the tab is visible.
8. Upgrade library firmware and drive firmware to the latest version.
Refer to “Configure Library: Drives” on page 127 to configure the drive if it is a SCSI or FC drive.
Connect the drive host interface cable to the host or FC switch.
Note: Go to http://www.ibm.com/storage/support/ to download the latest firmware for your
library and tape drive.
9. Run the Library Verify test. (Operator Control Panel: Service > Library Verify). This test requires the
use of a scratch (blank) cartridge.
v If the test passes:
– When prompted by the Operator Control Panel display and the I/O station opens, remove the
cartridge that is used in the test.
– Close the I/O station by pushing it back into the library.
– Press Cancel to exit the Library Verify screen.
– Resume normal library operations.
v If the test fails, an error code is displayed. Make note of the error, then see the Troubleshooting
chapter in this document for more instructions.
10. Package the failed drive sled in the same packaging in which the new sled was shipped to you and
return to IBM. Complete the Warranty Redemption form and return it in the package with the drive
sled.
Important: If the failed drive was configured for encryption, to ensure that the replacement drive
receives the appropriate encryption parameters, resubmit the encryption choices that are listed on
Configure Library > Encryption for that particular drive or logical library even if the encryption
settings did not change.
Adding a tape drive sled
Before you begin
Use these instructions to add a tape drive to your 2U or 4U tape library. See Appendix B, “SCSI element
types, SCSI addresses, and physical configurations,” on page 285.
Note: Power OFF the library before a SCSI drive sled is installed. Fibre Channel and SAS drive sleds are
hot pluggable and might be removed and installed while the library is powered ON.
Important: In a 4U library, a full height drive sled can be installed in drive slot 1 (drive occupies slot 1
and slot 2) or drive slot 3 (drive occupies slot 3 and slot 4). A full height drive sled must never be
installed in drive slot 2 (drive occupies slot 2 and slot 3).
About this task
Complete this procedure to add a tape drive to your library.
Procedure
1. Before the new drive sled is installed, inspect all connectors on the drive sled. Ensure that the
connectors are intact, free of any objects, and have no cracks, or deformed or bent contacts.
2. Slowly insert the new drive sled into the drive slot while the bottom of the drive sled is supported
(see Figure 171 on page 227). If necessary, ensure that the black tab remains extended (▌8▐ in
Figure 169 on page 225). Push in on the drive sled handle (▌10▐ in Figure 169 on page 225) while the
bottom of the drive sled is supported until it is properly seated.
