Remove server cover - all servers

WARNING!

To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape drive, ensure that the server is disconnected
from the mains power supply while you install the drive.

CAUTION:

Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if one is
available. If not, after you have disconnected power from the server and removed the cover, touch a
bare metal part of the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive before installing it.

1.

Assemble the necessary tools and materials:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your server uses slotted screws)
• Torx screwdriver (if your server uses torx screws)
• Your server manuals (for reference during installation)

2.

Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any connected peripherals. Ensure
that the server is disconnected from the mains power supply.

3.

Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in your server's documentation.

As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other signal cables or power cords
from other devices to maneuver the new drive into place. If you have to do this, make a note of
their position and connections so you can put them back correctly later.

NOTE:

The server must provide forced cooling and be capable of drawing 6 cfm (0.17 m

3

/minute

or 10.08 m

3

/hour) of air through the tape drive at up to 40

0

C ambient operation. This

reduces to 4 cfm at 35

0

C ambient operation. Ensure that empty bays have the appropriate

blanking plates installed so that airflow is maintained.

4.

Remove the filler panel from a spare 5¼-inch bay of your server, as described in your server's
documentation. With some servers you must also remove the half-height device divider.
