Scalar i6000 Installation Guide 97
Installing Drives and Blades
This chapter provides the step-by-step instructions for installing and connecting the drives in the library. The
information in this chapter includes:
• Numbering Sequences
on page 101
• Installing Drives
on page 105
• Installing Blades in the I/O Management Unit
on page 108
The installation instructions in this chapter assume that you are installing drives
and blades in a new library.
• If you are installing drives in a new library, the library is shipped with the
frames preconfigured to accept the drive quantity that has been
ordered. For example, if a customer orders 10 drives, 10 drive positions
will be ready to accept the drives. See Installing Drives
on page 105.
• If you are adding drives to an existing library, see Adding Drives to an
Existing Installation on page 233.
• If you are removing and replacing failed drives in an existing library, see
the Scalar i2000/i6000 Maintenance Guide.
