Installing your drive in the replacement library enclosure
Before you begin
Important: It is important to install the drives from the defective library into the same positions in the
replacement library enclosure to maintain your current library configuration.
Procedure
1. Remove all drives from the defective library (see Figure 182) and install them in the same positions in
the replacement library enclosure.
a. Ensure that the power cord is unplugged from the power source for each power supply in the
defective library enclosure.
b. On the rear of the defective library, loosen the blue captive thumbscrews on the drive sled.
c. If necessary, remove the conductive tape from the drive sled.
d. Pull back on the tape drive handle to remove it from the library.
e. On the rear of the replacement library enclosure, extend the black pull-out tab that is located
underneath the lower right corner of the lowest drive sled position. Ensure that the black pull-out
tab remains extended when a drive sled is inserted in the lowest drive position in the library.
Important: If this procedure is not followed, damage to the connector pins can occur.
f. Place each tape drive into the replacement library enclosure in the same drive slot as it was
positioned in the defective library.
v While the drive assembly is supported, align the drive sled with the groove in the drive slot
rails.
v Slowly push the drive sled forward until it is properly seated.
g. Tighten the captive thumbscrews until the drive is secure.
