Removing a Cartridge Capacity Sled
The Spectra T50e provides expansion slots as an option to enable your
library to use up to 50 slots. Each Cartridge Capacity Sled (expansion slot)
takes the place of a single half-height tape drive.
If you previously installed one or more cartridge capacity sled(s) and now
want to remove one or more of them from the library, follow the steps in
this section.
