Replacing your tape drive

If your tape drive proves to be faulty and cannot be repaired and it is still covered by the
original warranty, it will be replaced.
To disconnect your drive
1
Unpack your replacement drive, and retain the packaging.
2
Power off your server and any other devices that are on the same SCSI bus.
3
Remove the cover from the server, see page 13.
4
Observing normal anti-static precautions (see page 13) remove any screws that are holding
the tape drive in place.
5
Disconnect the drive from the server's power and SCSI cables and slide it carefully out of the
mounting bay.
6
Put the drive into the packaging that contained the replacement drive.
7
Return the faulty drive to your local HP Service Center. Instructions on where to return faulty
drives will be shipped with the replacement drive.
Note If you are not replacing the drive immediately, you should insert a blanking plate into the
empty bay. Replace the cover on the server and secure with screws, as appropriate.
