To install a tape drive, complete the following steps:
1. If you are replacing a removed drive with a new drive, make sure that:
v You have all the cables and other equipment that is specified in the
documentation that comes with the new drive.
v You check the instructions that come with the new drive to determine
whether you must set any switches or jumpers on the drive.
v You have removed the drive retainer clip on the side of the old drive and
have it available for installation on the new drive.
2. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 73.
3. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
4. Unlock and remove the side cover (see “Installing the side cover” on page 78).
5. Remove the upper bezel (see “Installing the upper bezel” on page 82).
6. Remove the lower bezel (see “Installing the lower bezel” on page 80).
7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and
place it on a static-protective surface.
8. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
9. Remove the drive retainer clip from the side of the drive cage of bay (see the
illustration at the beginning of this section). Slide the drive retainer clip to the
left to remove it from the drive cage; then, snap the drive retainer clip into the
screw holes on the side of the drive (the blue side of the drive retainer clip
should be facing outward).
