than a 5-cm (2-inches) diameter.

the tape drive.
4. Pull the tape drive out of the library.

Replacing an LTO2 or LTO3 tape drive
NOTE: HP recommends that you install tape drives from top to bottom, with no gaps between
them. If you are installing LTO2 or LTO3 tape drives and LTO4 or later tape drives in the same
library, HP recommends that you place all LTO2 and LTO3 tape drives above all LTO4 or later
tape drives.
