REPARING FOR
Note:
If your library is installed in a rack, it is not necessary to remove the library from the
rack to complete this procedure. It is also not necessary to disconnect the Ethernet
cable from the back of the library.
Obtain these items—a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver.
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.

Do not connect the SCSI cables until after you reconfigure the library. Reconfigure your library—You must reconfigure your library for your backup application to recognize the new tape drive.
  • Page 25 ECONFIGURING THE IBRARY AND ESUMING PERATION ECONFIGURING THE IBRARY In order for the library to recognize the new tape drive, you must set the tape drive configuration to match the tape drives that are installed in the library. Note: Do not connect the SCSI cables at this time. To set tape drive configuration: At the Home screen, press Drive.
  • Page 26 SCSI bus issues, including bus hangs and Read/Write failures. See the individual Product Manuals at www.tandberg.com for detailed information. You must install a terminator on the device at the physical end of the SCSI bus. If one of the tape drives in the library terminates the SCSI bus, you must install the required terminator on one of the tape drive’s SCSI connectors.
  • Page 27 The library communicates with the host through the SCSI interface of one of the tape drive via the Automation Drive Interface (ADI) serial interface. See the tape drive’s Product Manual for tape drive information. See Automation/Drive Interface – (ADC) for ADI information. Reconnect the power cord and power on the library (press the on the back of the unit), then power on the host.
