Removing and Replacing a Base Tape Library

Removing and Replacing a Base Tape Library

A base tape library is one that does not have tape drives, controller, or a power supply.
These components are removed from the tape library being replaced and then replaced in the new tape library.

Make sure that you remove the:

•  Magazine
•  Tape cartridges from fixed cells and robotic shuttle
•  Tape drives (see 'Removing and Replacing a Tape Drive')
•  Controller (see 'Removing and Replacing the Controller')
•  Power supply (see 'Removing and Replacing the Power Supply')
•  Power cord (see 'Installing Cables and Terminators')
•  SCSI cables (see 'Installing Cables  and Terminators')
•  Terminator (see 'Installing Cables and Terminators')
•  Inner slide rails from the chassis (rack-mounted tape libraries with slides; see
   Chapter 5, 'Installing the Rack-Mounted Tape Library')
•  Chassis angle brackets (rack-mounted tape libraries with fixed rails)
•  Tape library cover and base plate (desktop tape libraries; see
  'Removing and Replacing the Desktop Tape Library Cover')
