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.

INSTALLING ADDITIONAL TAPE DRIVES
To install an additional tape drive (or tape drives), follow these steps: 1. Preparing for replacement-- a. Power off the library (press the 0 on the back of the unit) b. Disconnect the power cord, the SCSI or Fibre Channel cable(s), and the terminator (if one is installed). c. Power off the host d. Remove the tape drive cover plate (P). Set the plate and the screws aside.

2. Removing the internal cooling plates and disconnecting cables--
!
Important
Remove as many internal cooling plates as necessary to add tape drives, but leave all empty tape drive bays covered. The plates are required for proper cooling.

Important
The library requires both the SCSI cover plates (S) and the tape drive cover plates (P) for ESD protection. Do not leave any openings uncovered. Do not connect the SCSI cables until after you reconfigure the library. If your library has...

This applies to both SCSI and Fibre Channel library configurations.
b. Reconfigure your library--You must reconfigure your library for your backup application to recognize the new tape drive. See page 25 for instructions.

REPLACING A TAPE DRIVE (SAME CONFIGURATION)
To replace a tape drive with a different tape drive of the same configuration (half height to half height, or full height to full height), follow these steps. 1. Preparing for replacement-- a. Power off the library (press the 0 on the back of the unit) b. Disconnect the power cord, the SCSI or Fibre Channel cable(s), and the terminator (if present) c. Power off the host d. Remove the tape drive cover plate (P). Set the plate and the screws aside.
