This section describes how to replace the autoloader’s tape drive. You can
order a new tape drive from Exabyte (see page iii ) or from your supplier.
Caution
Do not attempt to replace any components in the autoloader, other than the tape
drive. If you do so, you will void your warranty.
! ! ! !
Important New tape drives must be specially configured for use in the
autoloader and must therefore be ordered directly from Exabyte
or from an Exabyte-approved supplier.
You must replace the installed tape drive with the same
configuration tape drive, as follows:
ƒ
Full height to full height
-or-
ƒ Half height to half height
You cannot replace a full height with a half height, or vice versa.
