Install The Library In The Rack; Installing Tape Drives - HP StoreEver MSL4048 Getting Started Manual

Install the library in the rack

1. Slide the library onto the rails.
2. From the front of the library, secure the front bezel to the rack using a #2 Phillips screw
driver placed through the small holes in the mounting bracket. Tighten the captive screws
on each side of the library until they are seated.

Installing tape drives

1. Locate an appropriate vacant drive bay on the back of the library.
The first tape drive should be installed in the bottom drive bay. Install each additional tape
drive in the drive bay directly above the existing tape drives. If you leave a space and later
add a tape drive in the space, the new tape drive will be assigned the next higher drive

factory defaults or the library is power-cycled, the drives will be renumbered and you might

to install a full-height tape drive.
3. Holding the tape drive by the handle and supporting it from the bottom, position the drive on
the alignment rails and then slide the tape drive into the drive bay until it is flush with the
back of the library.
