Replacing your tape drive

If your tape drive proves to be faulty and cannot be repaired and it is still covered by the original warranty, it will be replaced.

To disconnect your drive

1Unpack your replacement drive, and retain the packaging.

2Switch off your server to power off the tape drive and any other devices that are on the same SCSI bus.

3Remove the cover from the server, see page 23.

4Observing normal anti-static precautions (see page 23) remove any screws that are holding the tape drive in place.

5Disconnect the drive from the server’s power and SCSI cables and slide it carefully out of the mounting bay.

6Put the drive into the packaging that contained the replacement drive.

7Return the faulty drive to your local HP Service Center. Instructions on where to return faulty drives will be shipped with the replacement drive.

Note If you are not replacing the drive immediately, you should insert a blanking plate into the empty bay. Replace the cover on the server and secure with screws, as appropriate.

To reconnect your tape drive

Follow the step-by-step instructions in this Getting Started guide.
