Adding a

Tape Drive

You can add tape drives so that your library contains four half height d
rives, two full height drives or a
combination of these.
Note
A
full height drive
can
occupy the bottom two half height drive positions, the top
two half height drive positions, but not the middle two half height drive positions.
These instructions
explain how to add a
tape drive
to your library.
Required tools:
Screwdriver.

or
the bay where the

the cover plate
screws and remove the plate
.
Save the cover plate. If you later decide to remove
the tape drive, you will need to reinstall the cover plate
.
