7.9.4 Style B Chassis Storage Array Replacement

This procedure assumes that the Storage Array was removed in Section 7.9.3.
1.
If the RLS is not rack-mounted, carefully turn it on its left side (as seen from the
front) so that the Storage Array mounting screws located on the bottom of the li-
brary can be accessed.
2.
While grasping the front and rear of the Storage Array, guide the front of the ar-
ray into the chassis. Orient the array such that the connector is facing the drive
bay or inside of the chassis.
3.
Maneuver the rear of the Storage Array into the left rear corner of the chassis
and then align its threaded mounting holes with the holes in the bottom of the
chassis.
4.
Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, replace the three or five (model dependent)
mounting flat-head screws that were removed earlier as shown in Figure 7-14.
5.
If the RLS is not rack-mounted, carefully turn it back to its upright position.
In the next step a small mirror and flashlight may be helpful to see the ribbon cable con-
nection.
6.
Reach into the back, left corner of the drive bay and reconnect the ribbon cable
that was detached from the connector on the Storage Array. The connector's key-
ing bump must be pointed down or against the chassis. The connector on the
Storage Array nearly touches the chassis bottom and is centered in the opening.
Press firmly on the back of the connector to assure it's fully inserted into the
Storage Array. See Figure 7-11.
7.
Once the Storage Array cable is connected, give the cable a light tug to confirm
it's firmly attached.
8.
Align the Access Panels holes with the mounting screw holes in the rear of the
RLS, then reinstall all six of the Access Panels mounting screws. See Figure
7-15.
9.
Follow Section 7.11.2 to reinstall the Tape Drive(s) that were removed from the
RLS in Section 7.9.3 If the drives are identical, it doesn't matter to the RLS,
which one is installed at the T1 position.
10.
Place an empty Magazine on Magazine Mount MA (needed for calibration).
11.
Install the Carriage Assembly by following the instructions in Section 7.7.
12.
Proceed to Section 7.24 to calibrate the RLS.
