DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED:
Familiar with U2 Rackmount Unit and OEM Tape drives.

- TIME ESTIMATE: 60 minutes
- TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Tape drive has been determined to be defective and needs to be replaced.

- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:
All work to the tape drive must be stopped.  Drive should be offline to the Operating System and Software Application.

- WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE:
Refer to the attached Troubleshooting and Service Guide on the 2U Rackmount Unit for complete instructions and pictures for the following procedure.

To remove a tape drive from the Sun 2U Rackmount unit, follow these steps:

Caution:
To avoid damaging the data cables and power cord, always disconnect external cabling before sliding the
Rackmount unit out of the equipment cabinet.

1. Turn off power to the unit by pressing and holding the power button on the front panel for three seconds.
    (see figure 2).
2. Disconnect the unit power cable and all data cables at the rear panel (see figure 3)
3. Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the unit to the equipment rack (see figure 4)
4. Gripping the unit handles (see figure 4), pull outward until the unit stops in the service position. Make sure
     that the lock in the slide engages.
     When the unit stops sliding, it should be far enough out of the equipment rack to allow removal of the
      unit cover.

Caution:
To avoid damaging the front bezel, do not grasp the front bezel when moving the unit; instead, use the handles on either side of the unit to move it.

5. Loosen the two thumbscrews that secure the unit cover (see figure 5).
6. Pull the cover forward, then upward, to remove it. Set the cover aside for re-use.
7. Remove the two thumbscrews securing the tape drive to the tape drive retaining wall (see figure 6). Set
    the two thumbscrews aside for re-use when installing a replacement tape drive.
8.  Pull the tape drive forward slightly, and then lift the tape drive out of the unit. Place the tape drive on the
     top of the unit.
9.  Disconnect the following cables from the tape drive rear panel (seefigure 7):
   - SCSI
   - SCSI ID
   - Tape drive power
10.  Remove the two thumbscrews from the side of the tape drive that was closest to the outside of the unit.
       Set the two thumbscrews aside for re-use when installing a replacement tape drive (see figure 8)..

Note: These two thumbscrews are used as guides. They do not secure the drive to the chassis.

To install a tape drive into the 2U Rackmount unit, follow these steps:
1. Install two thumbscrews into the side of the tape drive that will mount adjacent to the outside of the unit.
    Hand- tighten the thumbscrews (see figure 8)..
2. Place the tape drive on the top of the unit, and then connect the following cables to the tape drive rear
    panel (see figure 9, figure 10, and figure 11 for specific drive instructions)::
    - Tape drive power
    - SCSI ID
    - SCSI

DLT-S4: Remove all jumpers from the SCSI ID pins on the back of the tape drive. Place the TERMPWR jumper on the two left-most SCSI ID pins. Place the SCSI ID Enable jumper on the two pins just to the right of the TERMPWR jumper. Attach the unlabeled 8-pin SCSI ID cable with six multi-colored wires to the eight right-most pins on the tape drive. Ensure that the brown wire is connected to the upper right pin.

SDLT 600: Remove all jumpers from the SCSI ID pins on the back of the tape drive. Place a jumper on the two left-most SCSI ID pins. Attach the unlabeled 8-pin SCSI ID cable with six multi-colored wires
to the eight right-most pins on the tape drive. Ensure that the brown wire is connected to the upper right pin.

LTO-3: Remove all jumpers from the SCSI ID pins on the back of the tape drive. Connect the SCSI ID cable labeled “LTO1/LTO2/ LTO3” so that the brown wire is connected to the upper left pin.

3. Slide the tape drive completely into the slot.
4. Secure the tape drive to the unit by inserting two thumbscrews through the holes in the tape drive
    retaining wall that are aligned with the tapped holes in the side of the tape drive. Hand-tighten the
    thumbscrews(see figure 12).
5. Slide the 2U Rackmount cover into place.
6. Install two thumbscrews to secure the unit cover(see figure 5 on page 6).
7. Press the lock in the slide to disengage it, and then push the unit into the equipment rack until the
    thumbscrews used to secure the unit to the rack can be engaged.

Caution:
To avoid damaging the data cables and power cord, make sure all external cabling is disconnected before sliding the Rackmount unit into the equipment rack.

8. Engage and tighten the thumbscrews that secure the unit to the equipment rack (see figure 4 on page 6).
9. Connect the unit power cable at the rear panel (see figure 3 on page 5).
10. Turn on power to the unit by pressing the power button on the front panel for one second (see figure 2).
      The power LED, unit fans, and power supply fans turn on.
