Figure 18 StorageLibrary T48--replacing existing tape drives: half height connectors d. Attach the SCSI cover plate (S) and the tape drive cover plate (P) that came with your replacement kit. See "Reference Illustrations" on page 3. ! Important The library requires both the SCSI cover plates (S) and the tape drive cover plates (P) for ESD protection. Do not connect the SCSI cables until after you reconfigure the library. b. Reconfigure your library--You must reconfigure your library for your backup application to recognize the new tape drive. See page 25 for instructions. 18 OF 28 REPLACING A TAPE DRIVE (HALF HEIGHT TO FULL HEIGHT) To replace a half height tape drive with a full height tape drive, follow these steps. Disconnect the power cord, the SCSI or Fibre Channel cable(s), and the terminator (if present) c. Set the plate and the screws aside.

Remove the StorageLibrary T24 tape drive cover plate (SCSI and Fibre Channel) the same way. 2. Pull the tape drive a short distance out of the library and disconnect the serial cable (C). Remove the screws (A) holding the tape drive cooling plate (B). 19 OF 28 d. Remove the plate, and discard it and the screws.

Remove as many internal cooling plates as necessary to add tape drives, but leave all empty tape drive bays covered. While holding the cables out of the way, remove the tape drive(s). Caution Be certain to support the tape drive as you remove it from the library. If you are replacing multiple tape drives, remove and discard the serial cables from all the tape drives you are replacing. 20 OF 28 3. [. . . ] An inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues, including bus hangs and Read/Write failures. See the individual Product Manuals at www. tandberg. com for detailed information. You must install a terminator on the device at the physical end of the SCSI bus. If one of the tape drives in the library terminates the SCSI bus, you must install the required terminator on one of the tape drive's SCSI connectors. If there are additional devices on the SCSI bus, ensure that only the device at the physical end of the bus is terminated. 26 OF 28 The library communicates with the host through the SCSI interface of one of the tape drive via the Automation Drive Interface (ADI) serial interface.
