Important: If the failed drive was configured for encryption, to ensure thereplacement drive receives the proper encryption parameters,resubmit the encryption choices listed on Configure Library →Encryption for that particular drive or logical library even if theencryption settings did not change.Adding a Tape Drive SledUse these instructions to add a new tape drive to your 2U or 4U Tape Library.Refer to Appendix A, “SCSI Element Types, SCSI Addresses, and PhysicalConfigurations,” on page A-1 for more information.Note: Power OFF the library before installing a SCSI drive sled. Fibre Channel andSAS drive sleds are hot pluggable and may be removed and installed whilethe library is powered ON.Important: In a 4U library a full height drive sled may be installed in drive slot 1(drive will occupy slot 1 and slot 2) or drive slot 3 (drive will occupyslot 3 and slot 4). A full height drive sled should never be installed indrive slot 2 (drive will occupy slot 2 and slot 3).Complete the following procedure to add a new tape drive to your library.1. Before installing the new drive sled, inspect all connectors on the drive sled.Ensure that the connectors are intact, free of any foreign objects, and have nocracks, deformed, or bent contacts.2. Slowly insert the new drive sled into the drive slot while supporting thebottom of the drive sled (see Figure 10-8 on page 10-7). If necessary, ensure thatthe black tab remains extended (8 in Figure 10-6 on page 10-5). Push in onthe drive sled handle (10 in Figure 10-6 on page 10-5) while supporting thebottom of the drive sled until it is properly seated.Important: Damage to the connector pins may occur if this procedure is notfollowed.3. Tighten the captive thumbscrews (7 in Figure 10-6 on page 10-5) until thedrive sled is secure.4. If you are installing a drive sled without ESD springs (see Figure 10-4 on page10-3), apply conductive tape to the sled as shown in Figure 10-9 on page 10-8.Note: The small gray markers show where conductive tape should be placed toprovide ESD protection.5. Install cover plates on any open drive slots in the library.6. Power ON the library.7. Run the Library Verify test. (Operator Control Panel: Service → Library Verify).This test requires the use of a scratch (blank) cartridge.v If the test passes:– When prompted by the Operator Control Panel display and the I/OStation opens, remove the cartridge used in the test.– Press Cancel to exit the Library Verify screen.– Proceed to “Configuring the Tape Drive” on page 10-10.v If the test fails, an error code will be displayed. Make note of the error, thenrefer to the Troubleshooting chapter in the Dell PowerVault TL2000 TapeLibrary and TL4000 Tape Library User's Guide for additional instructions.Chapter 10.
