INSTALLING ATAPE 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 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.

Warnung 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.

Advertencia 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Both the StorageLibrary T24 and StorageLibrary T48 Library accommodate Ultrium 3

(LTO-3) or Ultrium 2 (LTO-2) tape drives in half height (HH) or full height (FH)

configurations. Neither library will accommodate LTO-1 tape drives.

Note: Most of the illustrations show SCSI configurations. Use the same steps to install Fibre

Channel tape drives.

Information that is specific to the individual libraries is indicated as follows:

StorageLibrary T24—One full height tape drive or two half height tape drives

StorageLibrary T48—One or two full height tape drives, or one, two, three, or four half

height tape drives

! Important The tape drives must be specially configured (at the factory) for use in a

StorageLibrary T24 or StorageLibrary T48 library. Purchase tape drive

kits only from Tandberg Data or Tandberg-approved suppliers.

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 0on 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.

Note: This figure shows the StorageLibrary T24 SCSI library with one half height tape

drive installed. Remove the StorageLibrary T48 tape drive cover plate (SCSI and

Fibre Channel) the same way.

2. Removing the internal cooling plates and disconnecting cables—

Figure 9 Tape drive cover plate (StorageLibrary T24 library shown)

! 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.

b. While holding the cables to the side, slide the new tape drive directly into the library,

leaving it a short distance out to access the cables. Use care not to damage the cables.

c. Connect the supplied serial cable (C) and the power cable (D) to the tape drives.

StorageLibrary T24 tape drive serial and power cable connections—

Serial—Route the serial cable (C) over the tape drive carrier and under the power

cable as shown here; connect as shown in Figure 2 (StorageLibrary T24 HH serial

cable routing).

Power—Route the power cable through the tape drive carriers as shown here;

connect as shown in Figure 4 (StorageLibrary T24 HH power cable routing).
