Maintaining the Library
This chapter provides information about the following maintenance functions
that you may need to perform on your library:
• Replacing tape drives or drive blanks
• Replacing the fuse
• Replacing the air filter
• Cleaning the front window
• Using touch-up paint on the library housing
➤ Important Do not attempt to replace any components in the library other
than the tape drives, drive blanks, fuse, or air filters unless you are qualified
to do so. When replacing other components, refer to the procedures in the
maintenance manual.
The library's internal components are lubricated at the factory and should not
be cleaned or re-lubricated. To protect internal components from dust, keep
the library door closed and locked.
Replacing Tape Drives or Drive Blanks
These instructions describe how to replace a drive blank or a tape drive that is
already installed in a drive carrier.
Using Drive Blanks
If you are using fewer than four tape drives, you must install a drive blank in the
unused drive carrier slots. You cannot operate the library with empty drive
carrier slots.
NOTE: The library is shipped with one extra drive blank in the accessory box.
