Equipment Description The DLT tape drives employed in the Tape Array 5 Rackmount Enclosure are mounted in easily inserted/removed drive carrier modules. The modules slide into the front of the Tape Array 5 enclosure and are retained with captive screws located at the top and bottom of the carrier. Each module contains SCSI and power connectors, which dock with mating connectors inside the Tape Array 5 enclosure.
The Tape Array 5 enclosure features a snap on/off front bezel. The bezel can be easily snapped off for drive carrier module insertion/removal. Media cartridges loaded into the drives are accessible when the bezel is snapped in place.
Installing Tape Drives 1. Snap off the front bezel by pulling each side away from the enclosure. Set the bezel aside.
2. Insert each drive carrier module into the unit by sliding the mounting rail on the drive/carrier module into the rail guide mounted in the enclosure. The drive carrier module should seat fully into the enclosure (the mounting screw flanges on the top and bottom of the carrier will contact the enclosure chassis). Check the carrier to insure proper docking connections.
3. Fully tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of each drive carrier module to secure it in the Tape Array 5 enclosure.

The SCSI data cable connector should be nearest the top of the carrier.
