3.Tighten the top and bottom thumbscrews, securing the drive module into the library.

4.Plug the ribbon connector into the back of the drive module (Figure 51 on page 163).

5.Gently fold the ribbon cable (attached to the plate and SCSI cable), into the back of the drive module.

6.Holding the connector plate in place, tighten the thumbscrews on each side of the connector.

7.Bring the new drive module online if necessary using the front panel display.

a.Enter the Administration then the Online Drive Repair menus.

b.Select the drive module that has been replaced. Bring the drive back online.

The library will automatically run a self-test when the drive has been brought online. When the drive is successfully brought online, the new drive will adopt the SCSI ID of the current drive position.

Note

If you have increased the number of drives since the last power

 

cycle, you must power cycle the library for the library to

 

recognize the additional drives.

 

 

 

 

Note

You may get a drive firmware mismatch error if you have

 

multiple drives with different firmware revisions. To correct this

 

error, update firmware as necessary until all drives of the same

 

type (such as LTO) have the same firmware revision. See

 

Upgrading Firmware on page 176.

 

 

8.Update the drive firmware if needed. (See Upgrading Firmware on page 176.)

Note

You may need to use the host backup software to recognize the

 

new drive when bringing it online. If the software or operating

 

system does not have the capability to automatically detect the

 

new drive, you may need to reboot the host.
