Tape Drive Installation and Replacement
26 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure Reference Guide
The SCSI IDs for the tape drives in the 1U rackmount tape enclosure can be set in
one of two ways:
1. The enclosure has two remote SCSI ID switches, one for each drive, on the
rear panel. These can be connected to the internal tape drives in place of the
jumpers normally used. To set the SCSI ID select it with the up/down buttons
on the switch for each drive.
2. If the SCSI ID switches on the rear panel are not used, refer to your tape drive
manual to set or change the SCSI ID using jumpers on the back of a tape
drive.
Tools required
The following tools may be required to install a tape drive in the 1U tape
enclosure:

Caution: To avoid damaging the equipment due to electrostatic discharge, be
sure to review and practice the procedures in Appendix B before handling the
tape drives.
To install a tape drive in the 1U tape enclosure:
1. Turn off the power to the tape enclosure with the front panel power button.
2. Loosen any cable restraints at the rear of the rack that may prevent the
enclosure from being extended in the rack.
Caution: To avoid damage to connectors attached to the enclosure, be sure
that cables are free to move in the rack as the unit is extended.
3. Extend stabilizing feet if provided on your rack.
4. Loosen the front panel thumbscrews and slide the enclosure forward in the
rack until it latches. It is not necessary to remove the enclosure from the rack.
