User manual TANDBERG REPLACE TAPE DRIVE IN T24 OR T48

INSTALLING A TAPE DRIVE IN This document explains how to install or replace a tape drive in the Tandberg StorageLibrary T24 or Tandberg StorageLibrary T48. Please read the entire section that you are using prior to beginning the procedure. PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT Note: If your library is installed in a rack, it is not necessary to remove the library from the rack to complete this procedure. It is also not necessary to disconnect the Ethernet cable from the back of the library. Obtain these items--a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver. Ensure that the environment is free of conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD)--If possible, use an antistatic mat and a grounded static protection wristband during installation. If a mat and wristband are not available, touch a known grounded surface, such as a computer's metal chassis. Warning Warnung Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be sure that the library's power switch is off and that the power cord is disconnected from the library and the outlet. Vor der Ausführung von Installations- oder Wartungsarbeiten ist darauf zu achten, daß der Library-Netzschalter auf "Aus" gestellt ist und daß das Anschlußkabel vom Library und der Steckdose entfernt ist. Antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento de instalación o de mantenimiento, comprobar que el interruptor de alimentación de la biblioteca está apagado y que el cable de alimentación no está enchufado ni a la biblioteca ni a la toma de corriente.
