6-68139-01 Rev A, September 2014
Scalar i40 and Scalar i80:
Quantum recommends that you install tape drives with the library power on. It
is faster and keeps all non-affected drives and partitions active. To do this,
carefully follow the instructions below, to prevent data loss or damage to the
®
Scalar
i40 or Scalar i80 library.
The tape drive always resides in a drive sled, and together they are effectively
one unit. If you order a new or replacement tape drive, it will already be
installed in a sled.
Caution: Do not remove the tape drive from the drive sled.
Note: For multiple tape drive installs in which you are changing control paths,
install and verify the tape drives one at a time, rather than all at once.
To install a tape drive in the library, refer to the following sections:
•
Taking ESD Precautions
•
Installing a Tape Drive
•
Replacing a Tape Drive with a Filler Plate
To avoid damaging static-sensitive parts while performing this procedure,
observe the following precautions:
• Use an antistatic wrist strap. If you do not have one, touch the outside of
the library on the sheet metal before touching any components, to
discharge static from your body.
