Installing the Optional Second Tape
Drive Upgrade
This chapter describes how to install the optional second tape drive upgrade in a
Sun StorEdge L400 tape library equipped with one tape drive.
5.1 Tape Drive in the Drive Carrier or Drive
Blank
In this section, drive carrier refers to a tape drive installed in a drive carrier.
Caution – If you operate the tape library with only one tape drive, you must have a
!
drive blank installed in the outside drive carrier slot (the left slot in the table top and
rack-mounted units or the bottom slot in the tower unit).
Failure to install a drive blank will interrupt the SCSI bus, and failure to install the
drive blank in the outer slot will disrupt air flow within the library.
Before you begin any procedure in this section, obtain a long medium size flatblade
screwdriver.
5.1.1

Removing the Drive Carrier or Drive Blank

1. Make sure the power is on.
2. Make sure data cartridges are not in the tape drives. The top/right and bottom/left
LEDs on the tape drives must be off.
