Figure 23. Removing the tape drive mounting brackets
Installing a tape drive
To install the tape drive, complete the following steps:
__ 1. If your new tape drive has a bezel attached, remove the bezel before you
install the tape drive in the autoloader:
To remove the bezel:
a. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, push the bezel side catch tabs on
each side of the tape drive inward until they clear the metal tabs
attached to the tape drive chassis.
b. With the bezel side catch tabs clear of the metal tabs that are on the tape
drive chassis, rotate the bottom of the bezel out and up from the front of
the drive.
c. Disengage the upper tabs from the top of the tape drive chassis and lift
the bezel up and away from the drive.
__ 2. Place the tape drive right side up (check the labels on the tape drive). Place
the brackets you removed from the original tape drive on the new tape
drive and attach them, using the two screws for each bracket.
__ 3. With the tape drive right side up, slide the tape drive into the autoloader
until the bracket flanges rest against the flanges on the autoloader back
panel.
__ 4. Connect the serial cable to the tape drive. The connector is keyed to ensure
the correct orientation.
Note: Before you connect the SCSI cable in the following step, make sure that
none of the pins on the SCSI cable are bent.
__ 5. Connect the SCSI cable and power cable. The connectors are keyed to ensure
the correct orientation.
__ 6. Route the cables into the notch in each bracket, and make sure that the
cables do not hang below the tape drive. Make sure that the serial cable is
not pinched between the SCSI cable and the side of the notch.
