CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape drive, ensure that the server is disconnected
from the mains power supply while you install the drive.
1. Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your server uses slotted screws)
• Torx screwdriver (if your server uses torx screws)
• Your server manuals (for reference during installation)
2.
Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any connected peripherals.
3.
Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in your server's documentation.
As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other signal cables or power cables from
other devices to maneuver the new drive into place. If you have to do this, make a note of their
position and connections so you can put them back correctly later.
