Tap e D ri v es 1 Label each tape drive with its location in the library slots. It is
recommended that you reinstall the tape drives in the same location in the
new chassis.
2 Unscrew the captive thumbscrews securing the tape drive sled to the back
of the library. Half-height tape drives have two thumbscrews. Full-height
tape drives have four thumbscrews.

smoothly and easily.
Filler Plates Remove all filler plates (tape drive and power supply).
1 Unscrew the two captive thumbscrews.

Magazines 1 If your library is a Scalar i80, label the magazines so you can reinstall them
in the same slots.
2 Insert the magazine lock override tool into the access hole in the bottom of
the magazine bezel.
3 Use the tool to depress the release latch while gently pulling outward on
the magazine bezel handle. If the magazine is on the right side, it will only
slide out as far as the I/E station. To release the magazine fully:
• On the Scalar i40 and the bottom right magazine of the Scalar i80, reach
under the open magazine and insert the tool directly into the access
hole in the library chassis to depress the release latch, while pulling out
on the magazine bezel handle.
• On the top right magazine of the Scalar i80, reach under the open
magazine and press the release latch directly with your finger, while
pulling out on the magazine bezel handle.
