Solution

 DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
- WHAT SKILLS ARE REQUIRED?: No special skills required, Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) procedure
- TIME ESTIMATE: 90 minutes
- TASK COMPLEXITY: 1
REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW: The 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure has been determined to be defective.
- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:

Refer to the Oracle StorageTek 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure Setup, Operator, and Service Guide, PN E58300-01, Chapter 7 for pictures and figures.

Use the following procedure to prepare the 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure for removal or installation of a storage device or other component.
Note: Before performing this procedure, ensure that there is no activity between the host system and the installed devices or operations being performed by the installed devices. Turning of f the 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure power during activity could result in loss of data.
1. Remove any media from the installed devices.
Note: Device means either drive or bay blank.
2. Turn off the power to the 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure.
3. Remove the 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure from the host system configuration. (For instructions, refer to your system manuals.)
4. Unplug the 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure power cable from the electrical outlet. The 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure is now prepared for removal or installation.

- WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED?:

Replacing an Enclosure:
1. Prepare the 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure for Service. See“Preparing the 1URackmount Tape Enclosure for Removal or Installation of a Storage Device orOther Component” on page 76for the correct procedure.
2. Remove the 1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure from the rack (see“Removing the1U Rackmount Tape Enclosure from a Rack” on page 14) and place it on an ESD protected work surface.
3. Remove the new Enclosure FRU from its packaging and install it onto theslide rails. Pull the slide rails forward 1 until they click, twice, into place.  Carefully lift the Enclosure FRU and tilt it into position over the slide rails sothat the rear posts 2 on the Enclosure FRU line up with the rear slots 3 on the slide rails. Slide the server down until the rear posts slip into the two rear slots, and then slowly lower the front of the Enclosure FRU 4 until the other posts slip into the other slots on the slide rails. Make sure that the front latch 5 slides over the posts.
