Hot Swappable CRUs
Removal and Replacement 3-9
To Replace the Drive Tray
Task 1 Preparation
Caution: Equipment damage. Do not touch the circuit card or
static sensitive components.
1. Follow accepted practices to prevent damage from ESD.
2. Remove the replacement drive tray from the shipping carton. Save the packaging
materials for the return of the failed CRU.
Note: Handle the drive tray by the rear corners (close to the
thumbscrews) and the bottom of the tray. Avoid contact with the
top cover of the actual tape drive.
Task 2 Replace the Drive Tray
1. Grasp the rear corners of the drive tray.
2. Guide the front of the drive tray into the module drive slot.
3. Push the drive tray completely into the drive slot.
4. Verify that the indicators are active on the rear of the drive tray.
5. Tighten the thumbscrews firmly on each side of the drive tray to make sure there
is no tray movement in any direction.
6. Push the Locate indicator on the robot CRU to reset the light, if applicable.
7. Connect the interface cable(s) and Ethernet cable (if applicable) to the proper jack
on the left side of the drive tray.
Task 3 Confirmation
1. Confirm that the library recognizes and accounts for the drive (Drives area of the
SL150 remote interface).
It can take some time for the indicators to show the drive is operational.
2. Make sure the drive port is enabled (view the Drive Properties and change drive
settings if appropriate).
3. Identify the tape drive firmware version and, if necessary, upgrade it.
Refer to the StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library User’s Guide or the Help system
for instructions if your library is running code version 2.0 or higher.
If your library code is lower than 2.0, follow the instructions in the drive code
ReadMe file.
4. Log out of the SL150 remote interface.
Power Supply
The power supply (Figure 3–10) has indicators in the upper left corner and a release
latch to the right of the power receptacle.
Module 1 requires one power supply (see Figure 3–1). Expansion modules with an
installed drive require a power supply.
