new drive. The FC cable should click into place.

do not pinch or sharply bend the cables
tighter than a 5 centimeter (2-inch) diameter.

Connect the other end of the FC cable to its
corresponding port on the interface controller
card. Attach a label to each end of the cable to
mark the port designations. Complete this cabling
process for all drives.

If necessary, use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen
the captive screw at the right side of the drive
module. Grasp the drive and pull the drive from
the drive bay.
To install a new drive, locate a vacant drive bay.
Remove the face plate covering the drive bay by
removing the screw holding it in place.
Remove the end cap from the FC connector on
each new tape drive to be installed. Insert the new
drive module into the vacant drive bay and tighten
the captive screw to secure the drive to the chassis.
Note: Replacing an existing tape drive
does not require power-cycling the library,
however, adding a new tape drive does
require power-cycling the library.
