1. Remove all drives from the defective library (see Figure 10-16) and install them
in the same positions in the replacement library enclosure.
a. Ensure the power cord is unplugged from the power source for each Power
Supply in the defective library enclosure.
b. On the rear of the defective library, loosen the blue captive thumbscrews on
the drive sled.
c. If necessary, remove the conductive tape from the drive sled.
d. Pull back on the tape drive handle to remove it from the library.
e. On the rear of the replacement library enclosure, extend the black pull-out
tab located underneath the lower right corner of the lowest drive sled
position. Ensure that the black pull-out tab remains extended when
inserting a drive sled in the lowest drive position in the library.
Important: Damage to the connector pins may occur if this procedure is
not followed.
f. Place each tape drive into the replacement library enclosure in the same
drive slot as it was positioned in the defective library.
v While supporting the drive assembly, align the drive sled with the groove
in the drive slot rails.
v Slowly push the drive sled forward until it is properly seated.
g. Tighten the captive thumbscrews until the drive is secure.
h. If installing a drive sled without ESD springs (see Figure 10-16), apply
conductive tape as shown in Figure 10-17 on page 10-18.
