Rackmounting Your Library
For instructions on Rackmounting your library, refer to the Dell Rack
Installation Guide that comes with the rackmount hardware.
Installing/Removing a Drive
Drives modules must be installed sequentially in the library. An empty drive
slot cannot be located between two drive modules. If one of the middle drive
modules is removed, the other drives must be moved to fill the empty slot.
Follow the procedures below to install or remove a drive. For drive status
information, see Interpreting the Drive LEDs.
Installing a Drive
NOTE: Most drive
types cannot be mixed. For example, SDLT 320 drives cannot be installed
with SDLT 220 drives, and LTO-1 drives cannot be installed with LTO-2 or
LTO-3 drives. LTO-2 and LTO-3 drives, however, can coexist in the same library.
NOTE: Only three
drives can be installed per bus. If you are using LTO-3 drives, you should
install no more than two LTO-3 drives per bus.
Tools required: None
Use the following steps to install a drive.
Shut down the library. (Only the front power switch needs to
be turned off.)
From the rear of the library, find the lowest available drive
slot. Loosen the two thumbscrews on the filler plate and remove the filler
plate.
Store the filler plate in a safe location for future use.
Slide the drive into position and tighten the two captive thumbscrews.
After installing or replacing a drive and connecting the SCSI
cables, turn on the library. Wait two minutes for the library to initialize.
The LEDs will indicate the status of the drive. See Interpreting
the Drive LEDs.
Removing a Drive
When removing drives, remember that drive modules
are installed sequentially in the library. An empty drive slot cannot be located
between two drive modules. If one of the middle drive modules is removed, you
must move the other drives to fill the empty slot.
Tools required:
None
Use the following steps to remove a drive.
Shut down the library.
Loosen the two captive thumbscrews from the drive and slide
the drive out using its handle.
Unless you are immediately replacing the drive, install the
filler plate (that you removed when you installed the drive) to the drive
slot.
Note that the drive will remain off the bus until the library has set the
SCSI ID of the drive.
Installing a Secondary Power Supply
Tools required:
none
Use the following steps to install a secondary power supply.
On the rear of the library, find the secondary power supply
slot. Loosen the two thumbscrews on the cover plate and remove the cover plate.
CAUTION:Live AC voltage is present on the DC power supply connector
at the rear of the compartment. Exercise extreme care when working in
or near the DC power supply compartment. Be sure to read all safety
instructions in your Product Information Guide.
Slide the power supply into position until it mates with the
power distribution PCBA and tighten the two captive thumbscrews.
Installing Bulk Load Mailbox
To install a Bulk Load Mailbox you must first remove the Standard Mailbox.
Read the safety instructions in your Product Information Guide before
performing these procedures.
Tools required:
T20 Torx driver

Figure 1. Removing a Standard Mailbox
Use the following steps to remove the standard Mailbox.
Turn off the library. (Both the front and the rear power switches.)
Open the library front door. Remove the cartridge(s) from the
Standard Mailbox.
Remove the three Mailbox cable clamps. Two of the cable clamps
are attached to the door with #2 Phillips screws and one is attached with
a 11/32 nut. Disconnect the Mailbox cable harness from the display assembly.
Remove the five 11/32 nuts that attach the Mailbox assembly
to the front door. There are two nuts on the left side and three on the right
side.
Remove the 11/32 nut from the bottom of the plastic cover and
loosen T20 torx screw under the Mailbox door.
Remove the Standard Mailbox assembly.
Remove the plastic cover by lifting it up and sliding it through
the front door.
Installing the Bulk Load Mailbox
Use Figure 2 when installing the Bulk
Load Mailbox.
Figure 2. Installing a Bulk Load Mailbox
Use the following steps to install a bulk load Mailbox.
Attach the Bulk Load Mailbox to the door using eight 11/32 nuts.
Attach the cable clamps using 2 Phillips screws and one 11/32
nuts. Connect cable to the display assembly.
Insert magazines and any cartridges in the Mailbox.
Installing a Storage Column
Refer to Figure 3 when installing
a storage column. Read the safety instructions in your Product Information Guide before performing these procedures.
Figure 3. Installing the Storage Column
Tools required:
11mm or 7/16 nut driver
T20 Torx driver
flashlight
Use the following steps to install a storage column.
Turn off the library by turning off both the front (first) and
then the rear power switches.
Open the front door. If necessary, move the picker assembly
up the Y-axis to allow room. Slide the storage column in place.
Perform one of the following two steps depending on the column
you are installing:
If you are installing column 4, use the T20 Torx wrench to tighten
the two bottom hex screws that attach the storage column to the bottom chassis.
If you are installing column 5, use the 7/16 nut driver to tighten
the bolt that attaches the storage column to the bracket.
