(drive will occupy slot 1 and slot 2) or drive slot 3 (drive will occupy
slot 3 and slot 4). A full high drive sled should never be installed in
drive slot 2 (drive will occupy slot 2 and slot 3).
1. Before installing the new drive sled, inspect all connectors on the drive sled.
Ensure that the connectors are intact, free of any foreign objects, and have no
cracks, deformed, or bent contacts.
2. Extend the black pull-out tab ( 8 in Figure 10-6 on page 10-5) located
underneath the library near the lower right corner of the drive sled.
3. Slowly insert the new drive sled into the drive slot while supporting the
bottom of the drive sled (see Figure 10-8 on page 10-7). Ensure that the black
tab remains extended ( 8 in Figure 10-6 on page 10-5).
Important: Push in on the drive sled handle ( 10 in Figure 10-6 on page
10-5) while supporting the bottom of the drive sled until it is
properly seated. Damage to the connector pins may occur if this
procedure is not followed.
4. Push the drive sled slowly into the drive slot until the sled seats itself against
the back of the library.
