Overland Storage NEO E Series Instructions

Add-On/Spare Tape Drive Instructions

This document describes how to add a new tape drive assembly
or remove and replace an existing tape drive assembly in an
Overland Storage NEO E-Series library. When adding a new
drive, configuring the cabling is also addressed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
equipment, always remove any power cords while working
with the unit.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique ou
endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les cordons
électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.
CAUTION: When replacing a tape drive assembly, verify that
the drive type (SCSI, FC, or SAS) of the new assembly is the
same as the one it replaces. Failure to match the assembly to the
drive interface will result in damage to the drive connector pins.
CAUTION: While working with the unit, observe standard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent damage
to micro-circuitry or static-sensitive devices.
