If you are adding a tape drive:
1. Identify the location for the tape drive. If this is the first tape drive, install it in the bottom drive
bay. Otherwise, install the new drive in the next higher drive location.
IMPORTANT: If you install a new drive below any existing tape drives, the drive numbering
sequence of the current drives might change. In this case, you might need to reconfigure your
backup software.
2. Using the correct screwdriver, remove one half-height drive bay cover to install a half-height
drive or two half-height covers to install a full-height drive.
