  • Page 3 Replacing the TAP in a T200, T380, or T680 Library ® These instructions describe how to replace the TeraPack  Access Port  (TAP) in a T200, T380, or T680 library. Except where noted, the procedure  is identical for all three libraries. Estimated Time = 45 minutes REPARE FOR THE EPLACEMENT Before beginning this replacement procedure, make sure that you fulfill the  prerequisites described in this section and familiarize yourself with all of  the sections in this document. Discontinue Operations Running on the Library Data transfer operations cannot run during the TAP replacement process.  1. Use your storage management software to stop any data transfer  operations running to the library. 2. Use your storage management software to move any cartridges that are  currently in drives back to their storage locations.

    Severe damage can occur if the component is not packaged correctly, and you may Caution be invoiced if it is received with damage due to improper or insufficient packaging. Use the return label and instructions that were included with the  replacement part when preparing to ship the defective component. If you  cannot locate these, contact Spectra Logic for another copy (see Contacting  Spectra Logic on page 2). The return label and RMA printed on it are used  to associate the returned part with your account. To avoid being invoiced  for failure to return the part, do not ship the part back without the RMA  return label.
