Important
When you install the drive in the bottom-most drive bay, push the product ID tab
down slightly to prevent damage while you install the drive. Be careful not to snag
the tab as you slide the drive into place.
Important
If the drive is not correctly aligned with the rails on each side of the open drive bay,
it does not slide all of the way into the drive bay and does not mate with the
connector inside the bay. The library cannot communicate with drives that are not
correctly installed.
Figure 18 Align the guides on the drive sled with the corresponding rails in
the drive bay and slide the drive straight into the drive bay.
