351U Rackmount Tape Enclosure Reference Guide
Replacing a tape drive
Caution: If you are returning a failed tape drive, DO NOT return the drive
mounting brackets.
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 replace a tape drive in the 1U tape enclosure:
1. Turn off the power to the tape enclosure with the front panel power button.
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.
2. Loosen any cable restraints at the rear of the rack that may prevent the
enclosure from being extended in the rack.
3. Extend the stabilizing feet if provided on your rack.
4. Loosen the front panel thumbscrews and slide the tape enclosure forward in
the rack. It is not necessary to remove the enclosure from the rack.
