This appendix describes how to upgrade or replace the drive carrier assembly (DCA).
Configuration and Tools
If you replace or upgrade the autoloader DCA, you need to check settings for the DCA and the SCSI bus.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver to replace a DCA.
Removing a DCA
Before you replace the autoloader DCA, you must make sure the tape drive does not contain a cartridge. To unload a tape from the tape drive, see “Move a Single Cartridge” or “Eject a Single Cartridge” in Chapter 4.
You must also turn off power to the autoloader and disconnect the power and SCSI cables from the back of the DCA.
Caution: The DCA contains electronic sensitive components. Be sure to wear your wrist ground strap whenever handling the DCA.
