Exabyte 480, 440 manual Install the tape drive, Resume library operations

Chapter 9

Step 3 – Install the tape drive

➤Important Do not insert your fingers in the tape drive door.

1.As shown in the previous figure, insert the tape drive into the slot with the lever to the right. Make sure the lever is closed. The tape drive should slide easily toward the back.

2.When the drive is almost completely inside the slot, you will feel some resistance. This is caused by the connection between the library’s controller card and the tape drive. To seat the connection, push firmly against the drive until you can push no further.

3.Using a flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the captive screw on each end of the drive carrier faceplate (two screws).

Step 4 – Resume library operations

1.Connect the power cord to the back of the library and to the outlet.

2.Close and lock the library’s door.

3.Power on the library.

Note: When you replace a tape drive, the new tape drive automatically assumes the SCSI ID of the old tape drive. See page 52 if you want to change the ID.
