166 Removing and Replacing Drive Modules

Chapter 5

3. Tighten the top and bottom thumbscrews, securing the drive module into

the library.

4. Plug the ribbon connector into the back of the drive module (

Figure 51

on

page 163).

5. Gently fold the ribbon cable (attached to the plate and SCSI cable), into

the back of the drive module.

6. Holding the connector plate in place, tighten the thumbscrews on each

side of the connector.

7. Bring the new drive module online if necessary using the front panel

display.
a. Enter

the

Administration

then the

Online Drive Repair

menus.

b. Select the drive module that has been replaced. Bring the drive back

online.

The library will automatically run a self-test when the drive has been

brought online. When the drive is successfully brought online, the new

drive will adopt the SCSI ID of the current drive position.

Note

If you have increased the number of drives since the last power

cycle, you must power cycle the library for the library to

recognize the additional drives.

Note

You may get a drive firmware mismatch error if you have

multiple drives with different firmware revisions. To correct this

error, update firmware as necessary until all drives of the same

type (such as LTO) have the same firmware revision. See

Upgrading Firmware

on page 176.

8. Update the drive firmware if needed. (See

Upgrading Firmware

on

page 176.)

Note

You may need to use the host backup software to recognize the

new drive when bringing it online. If the software or operating

system does not have the capability to automatically detect the

new drive, you may need to reboot the host.
