Unpacking the Tape Drive 7
Unpacking the Tape Drive 0
To unpack the tape drive:
1Open the shipping carton.
2Remove the tape drive from the carton.
The tape drive is protected by two pieces of foam and an antistatic bag.
3Remove the foam from the wrapped tape drive. Remove the tape drive
from the antistatic bag.
Installing the Tape Drives 0
To install tape drives in a PX500 Series library:
1At the back of the library, use a flat blade screwdriver to loosen the
captive screws that secure the cover plate to the empty drive bay.
2Set the cover plate aside.
3Insert the tape drive into the drive bay slowly until the connectors are
seated (see figure 4).
4Tighten the tape drive captive screws using a flat blade screwdriver.
5Repeat steps 1through 4to install another tape drive in a different
location, if desired.
Note: If this is an initial library installation, it is recommended to turn
the library off prior to installing tape drives. If this is an existing
library that is receiving a tape drive upgrade, the library can
remain powered on.
Note: Each tape drive ships from Quantum with a version of library
firmware as well as drive firmware on the tape drive interface
PWA. When you install the tape drive, the library will check the
version of library firmware on the tape drive and verify if the
firmware is newer than the version currently running. If the
library firmware on the tape drive is newer than the version
currently running on the library, the OCP will prompt you with
the option to upgrade the library firmware.

Cabling the Tape Drives 0
After the tape drive(s) have been installed, you must connect SCSI or Fibre
Channel cables to each drive.
Refer to the following figures to cable the tape drives:
•PX502 Libraries on page 9
• SCSI tape drives (see figure 5)
• SCSI tape drives in surrogate mode (see figure 6)
• Native Fibre Channel tape drives (see figure 7)
•PX506 Libraries on page 11
• SCSI tape drives (see figure 8)
• Native Fibre Channel tape drives (see figure 9)
•PX510 Libraries on page 13
• SCSI tape drives (see figure 10)
• Native Fibre Channel tape drives (see figure 11)
