out).

CAUTION:
When handling a tape drive, hold the drive by the side carrier framework. To avoid
possible damage, do not hold the body of the drive and do not push or pull on the tape
drive’s front panel.
2. Slide the tape drive into one of the open bays, ensuring that the guide rails on both sides of the drive
locate into the slots on the partition wall. Carefully but firmly ensure the tape drive is pushed fully in
so that the rear connectors are securely seated. The extractor level will close slightly.
NOTE:
Correct alignment of SCSI tape drives in the tape array is essential to ensure a secured
connection is made between the interface of the drive and the interface of the array.
3. Push on the extractor lever to complete the insertion and to lock the tape drive in place.
