DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED:
Familiar with the 1U Rackmount Unit and Tape Drives.

- TIME ESTIMATE: 60 minutes

- TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

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

- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:
All work to the tape drive should 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 document for complete instructions on removal and replacement of tape drive.

Replacing a tape drive in 1U Rackmount Enclosure:

Caution:
If you are returning a failed tape drive, save but DO NOT return the drive mounting brackets.

Caution:
To avoid damaging the equipment due to electrostatic discharge, be sure to review and practice the procedures in Appendix B before handling the tape drives.

To replace a tape drive in the 1U Rackmount Enclosure:
1. Turn off the power to the 1U Rackmount Enclosure with the front panel power button.
2. Loosen any cable restraints at the rear of the rack that may prevent the 1U Rackmount Enclosure from
    being extended in the rack.

Caution:
To avoid damage to connectors attached to the 1U Rackmount Enclosure, be sure that cables are free to move in the rack as the unit is extended.

3. Extend the stabilizing feet if provided on your rack.
4. Loosen the front panel thumbscrews and slide the 1U Rackmount Enclosure forward in the rack. It is not
    necessary to remove the 1U Rackmount Enclosure from the rack.
5. Remove the top access panel by turning the latch lock 1 counter-clockwise, lifting the latch 2, and sliding
     the panel back 3 and lifting it from the 1U Rackmount Enclosure. See Figure 27.

Caution:
To avoid the possibility of damaging the tape drive, do not pull the drive using the front bezel. The drive may be safely pulled forward using the rear of the drive.

6. Remove the tape drive by pulling up the spring-loaded button 1 on the rear of the right mounting rail.
    Slide the assembly forward and lift from the 1U Rackmount Enclosure 2. See Figure 28.
7. Disconnect the SCSI data, SCSI ID (if used), and power cables from the back of the drive.
8. Remove the left and right mounting brackets from the tape drive by removing two screws from each side.
    See Figure 29. Save the screws and mounting brackets for use in the next step.
10. If you are not using the remote SCSI ID switch on the 1U Rackmount Enclosure, set the SCSI ID with
      jumpers on the back of the new drive. Refer to the documentation for your tape drive for information
      about setting the SCSI ID.
11. If you are using the remote SCSI ID switch on the 1U Rackmount Enclosure, remove all the jumpers
      from the back of the new drive. The switch will connect to the pins normally programmed by the
      jumpers.

Caution:
To prevent possible damage to the 1U Rackmount Enclosure or to cause the rack to become unstable, you must provide support under the enclosure when installing a drive.

12. From the top, position the keyhole slots in the left and right mounting brackets on the drive over the
      mounting posts attached to the 1U Rackmount Enclosure. While supporting the enclosure from the
      bottom press down 1 so that the drive is flat against the bottom of the enclosure. See Figure 31. Slide
      the drive 2 toward the back of the enclosure until the spring-loaded pin snaps into place 3, locking the
      drive into the 1U Rackmount Enclosure.

Note: Make sure that all of the posts are engaged into their respective slots in the drive mounting brackets.

13. Attach the power cable 2, SCSI data cable 3, and SCSI ID cable 1 (if used) removed in step 7. See
      Figure 32.

WARNING: To avoid injury from rotating fan blades, do not attempt to operate the 1U Rackmount Enclosure with the top removed.

Caution: When reinstalling the top cover, be sure the latch is fully engaged and is flush with the cover to avoid interference with devices installed above the 1U Rackmount Enclosure in the rack.

15. Slide the 1U Rackmount Enclosure fully into the rack, and tighten the two front panel thumbscrews.
16. If used reattach the cable bundle to the cable support clips at the back of the rack. See Figure 34.
17. If used, retract the stabilizing feet on the rack.
18. Turn on the power to the 1U Rackmount Enclosure with the front panel power button.

Tape drive replacement is complete.
