Installing a Tape Drive 3
1 Insert the tape drive into the empty drive slot.
The “shelf” on the bottom of the drive sled fits into the notch in the library
chassis and slides on the plastic guide rails (see Figure
2). The tape drive
must be level to slide in smoothly. When the tape
drive is correctly inserted,
you will feel a slight “click” as the tape drive sled connector connects into its
mating connector in the library chassis.

2 Tighten the tape drive’s captive thumbscrews finger tight to secure the tape
drive to the library chassis.
The tape drive LED illuminates red for up to 30 seconds. Then the tape drive
fan starts and the LE
D turns amber, indicating that the tape drive is offline.
3 Connect the tape drive cable from the tape drive to
the host.
If the firmware on the newly installed tape drive is different fr
om the
standard configured on the library, the library will automatically autolevel
the new tape drive’s firmware upon installation. (See the
Scalar i40 and
Scalar i80 User’s Guide
for details about tape drive firmware autoleveling).
Autoleveling takes about 7 minutes. A message appears on the Operator
panel, indicating
that autoleveling is taking place.
If autoleveling is not required, the tape drive takes about 2 minutes to reach
a ready state.
4 If
needed, add the new tape drive to an existing partition or create a new
partition for it.
