Required

Replacement drive must be reinstalled into same physical drive slot in chassis,
host applications identify drives by their position in chassis

Prior to inserting replacement drive into library, verify compatibility of
replacement drive sled connector with library drive slot (or compare with drive
being replaced)
o If incompatible, check replacement drive packaging for adapter. If no
adapter shipped, contact Spectra Technical support

Replacement drive must be same LTO generation and host connection type as
drive being replaced

Drive module weighs approx. 15 lb. (7 kg), use care when handling

Ensure host interface cabling is connected to correct port on new drive.
Connecting cabling to wrong port can prevent host system from recognizing
new drive

SCSI Drives (legacy): If replacing a SCSI drive, Spectra Logic recommends host
be powered down PRIOR to replacing drive. Also, ensure that SCSI terminators
(if present on drive to be replaced) are transferred to new drive
