Add-On Instructions
This document describes how to either add or replace a
SCSI tape drive to an ARCvault library from Overland.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to equipment, remove the power cord.
CAUTION: Adding a new tape drive results in a library
reconfiguration. Also, in the ARCvault 48, existing
partitions are automatically disabled. Finally, if adding
an LTO-4 drive, the firmware must be at 5.08 or higher.
