Dell PowerVault 132T LTO Upgrade to LTO-2 Tape Drive Modules - Page 3

This document provides information about upgrading Dell™ PowerVault™ 132T LTO tape drive modules to LTO-2. You must perform the following procedures: • Installing drives • Updating tape library firmware Installing Drives If you have only one drive module installed in the library, that module must be in the centermost drive bay. CAUTION: Before performing this procedure, read and follow the safety instructions in your System Information Guide. To install drive modules, perform the following steps: 1 Turn off the host system and attached peripherals, including the tape library, and disconnect the system from its electrical outlet. 2 Disconnect the SCSI cable that connects the tape library to the host system. 3 On the back of the library, loosen the thumbscrews and remove the cover plate (see Figure 2-1) or the drive module that you want to replace. NOTE: If you remove the cover plate, store it in a convenient place. The cover plate is required for proper operation and cooling of the library if the optional drive is removed. 4 Slide the drive module into position. See Figure 2-2. The metal edge on the drive module should be inserted into the plastic guide on the left side of the drive bay. 5 Tighten the four thumbscrews on the drive module until it is flush with the chassis. 6 Connect the SCSI cable to either SCSI connector on the drive module. 7 Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the host system. 8 Connect a terminator to the last device in the SCSI chain.
