Remove server c
over - all servers
WARNING!
To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape dri ve, ensure that the server is disconnected
from the mains power supply while you i nstall the drive.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if one is
available. If not, after you have disconnected power from the server and removed the cover, touch a bare
metal part of the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive before installing it.
1. Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your server uses slotted screws)
• Torx screwdriver (if your ser ver uses torx screws)
• Your ser ver m anuals (for reference during installation)
2. Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any connected peripherals. Ensure
that the ser ver is disconnected from the mains power supply.
3. Remove the cover and front panel from the ser ver, as detaile d in your server’s documentation.
As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other signal cables or p ower cords 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 c orrectly later.
NOTE:
The server must provide forced cooling and be capable of drawing 6 cfm (0.17 m
3
/minute
or 10.08 m
3
/hour) of air through the tape drive at up to 40
0
C ambient operation. This
reduces to 4 cfm at 35
0
C ambient operation. Ensure that empty bays have the appropriate
blanking plates installed so that airflow is maintained.
4. Remove the filler panel from a spare 5¼-inch bay of your server, as described in your server’s
documentation. With some servers, such as the HP AlphaServer ES40, you must also remove the
half-height device divider.
