Adding a tape drive

1. If you are adding a tape drive, remove a drive bay cover. With a Philips screwdriver, remove one half-

height drive bay cover to install one half-height drive, or remove two drive bays covers to install a full-

height tape drive.

Figure 58. Drive bay covers

Note: A full-height tape drive must be installed in the lowest bay of the module.

2. Align and slowly insert the new tape drive into the drive bay along the alignment rails ( 1 in Figure 59

on page 120) while the drive assembly is supported. The tape drive must be flush with the back panel

of the library.

3. Tighten the captive thumbscrews ( 1 in Figure 60 on page 121) with your ngers until the tape drive is

secure.
