Installation

The 9840 Tape Drive can be installed as a desktop, rack-mountable drive,
desktop Cartridge Scratch Loader (CSL), rack-mountable CSL, or within a 9738
library.

A desktop unit or desktop CSL contains a drive with either a Fibre Channel (FC)
or Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) interface.

The StorageTek RACK001 can hold up to six CSL trays, drive trays, or any
combination.

The rack-mountable drive tray is available with FC or SCSI interface
connections. A single tray contains one or two drives (both drives must
have the same type of interface).

The CSL tray is available with a FC or SCSI interface.

The 9738 Library may contain up to three drives with a FC or SCSI interface.

This chapter contains installation instructions for each configuration. It also
provides cabling instructions to the host system(s).

Note: When installing the 9840 Tape Drive in a 9738 library, always use this

chapter together with the 9738 Library Product Manual.
