Drive Installation or Replacement Instructions
This guide provides instructions for either installing an additional drive or replacing an existing drive in a Spectra T200, T380, T680, T950, or T‐Finity library (the library).
Illustrations The replacement drive that you received may not look exactly like the drives shown in this document.
Most of the figures in this guide show the Spectra T380 library. The relative locations of the components and the procedures are the same for the other libraries unless otherwise indicated.The differences are indicated by library type; for example:
Spectra T200, T380, or
Spectra T950 and
User Interface Updates The BlueScale interface changes as new features are added or other modifications are made between firmware revisions. Therefore, the user interface screens on your library may differ from those shown in this document.
Drive Bay Assemblies Each drive is mounted on a drive sled which is installed in a drive bay assembly (DBA) in the back of the library. If there are no empty drive bays in your library, you must install a new DBA to accommodate additional drives. Backups cannot continue while you install the new DBA and drive(s).
Tape Drive Support This table shows the tape drives supported by the individual libraries.
