Unpacking the Tape Drive

2Remove the tape drive from the carton.
The tape drive is protected by two pieces of foam and an antistatic bag.
3Remove the foam from the wrapped tape drive. Remove the tape drive from the antistatic bag.
Installing the Tape Drives
To install tape drives in a Scalar 50 Series library:
Note: If this is an initial library installation, it is recommended to turn the library off prior to installing tape drives. If this is an existing library that is receiving a tape drive upgrade, the library can remain powered on.
Note: Each tape drive ships from Quantum with a version of library firmware as well as drive firmware on the tape drive interface PWA. When you install the tape drive, the library will check the version of library firmware on the tape drive and verify if the firmware is newer than the version currently running. If the library firmware on the tape drive is newer than the version currently running on the library, the OCP will prompt you with the option to upgrade the library firmware.
1At the back of the library, use a flat blade screwdriver to loosen the captive screws that secure the cover plate to the empty drive bay.
2Set the cover plate aside.
