Installing the Tape Drives
0
To install tape drives in a Scalar 50 Series library:
1 At 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.
2 Set the cover plate aside.
Caution: Use appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions
when installing the tape drive.
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.
