Replacing a Drive

Before You Begin

The T200 and T380 libraries currently support LTO tape drives and Spectra Logic RXT
drives. Each drive is mounted on a drive sled that provides the electrical and logical
connections to the library. The drive sled includes intelligence that assigns a serial
number to the drive based on its location in the library. This location-based serial
number remains constant even if the physical drive is replaced. The new drive simply
retains the designated serial number, so drive replacement is completely transparent to
the backup software.
In addition to the electrical connections for the drive, the drive sled includes a fan to
provide additional cooling to the tape drive and a handle to simplify sliding the drive
in or out of a drive bay.
Note:
The drive lock on your drive sled may appear different from the
one shown in Figure 4-1.
