Installing an Additional Drive

Your Scalar 24 comes with either one or two drives. If you have one drive, you can install an
additional drive by following the procedure below. Your Scalar 24 can contain up to two drives.
Step 1 Remove the drive module from the packaging.
Step 2 Power down the Scalar 24 and disconnect the AC line cord from the AC source outlet.
Step 3 From the rear of the Scalar 24, locate the available drive slot. Loosen the four
thumbscrews on the cover plate and remove the cover plate. Store the cover plate in a
convenient place. It is required for proper operation and cooling of the library if the optional
drive is ever removed.
