Installing the Drive

14

Follow the steps in this section to install a tape drive in your library.

Note: If you plan to use more than one “generation” of drive in the library (LTO‐4 and LTO‐5, for example), grouping each generation simplifies the configuration.

1.Refer to Identify the Drive Location on page 5 to determine where to install each drive.

ƒIf the library includes QIPs or bus expansion modules—a drive must be installed the same DBA as the QIP or bus expansion module that will connect it to the network (or SCSI bus).

ƒIf the library uses direct‐attach Fibre Channel drives—installing the drives sequentially, beginning with the next available drive bay simplifies the configuration. For example, if drive 1 is in drive bay 1, install drive 2 in drive bay 2, and so forth. The T950 and T‐Finity libraries do not allow direct‐attach drive configurations.
