Replacing an LTO4 tape drive
NOTE:
HP recommends that you install tape drives from top to bottom, with no gaps between them. If you are
installing LTO2 or LTO3 tape drives and LTO4 tape drives in the same library, HP recommends that you
place all LTO2 and LTO3 tape drives above all LTO4 tape drives.
1. Insert the new tape drive into the vacant drive bay. Tighten the captive screw to secure the drive to
the chassis.
