The library supports full- and half-height LTO tape drives. Each tape drive
is mounted to a drive sled that provides the electrical and logical
connections to the library. There are two types of drive sleds: SCSI and
Fibre Channel.
Preparing for Installation or Replacement
Ensure that the environment is free of conditions that could cause
electrostatic discharge (ESD)—If possible, use an antistatic mat and a
grounded static protection wristband during installation. If a mat and
wristband are not available, touch a known grounded surface, such as a
computer's metal chassis.
