Replacing Tape Drives
To replace a tape drive, complete the steps listed in the table below. Each step
is described on the following pages.
Preparing for Replacement
1. Obtain a flat-blade screwdriver.
2. To avoid damaging the library, be sure that the work area is free of
conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). See page 2.
CAUTION: Do not force the door open. The interlock mechanism may be
prevented from releasing by Media Manager (or similar software).
3. Turn the door latch handle.
4. When the door's interlock mechanism releases, open the door.
5. Turn the library's power switch to off.
6. Disconnect the power cord.
WARNING: Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures,
be sure that the library power switch is in the off position and that the power
cord is disconnected from the library and the outlet.
7. If necessary, reach in and push firmly against the base of the CHM to move
it to the top or bottom of the long axis so it is not blocking access to the tape
drives.
