Chapter 2
Installing the Tape Drive
This chapter explains how to install a Compaq tape drive in a drive bay. You need the
Compaq ESL9198 Series Tape Library tape drive upgrade kit to complete the installation.
Contact your Compaq sales representative for more information.
NOTE: The library is in the powered-on state during installation, however, thelibrary robotics is
unavailable for host-initiated operations during portions of this upgrade procedure.
Tape drives must be installed in sequential order from the lowest number to the highest (no
gaps are allowed).

2–2 Compaq StorageWorks ESL9198Series TapeLibrary Tape Drive Upgrade Guide
Tape Drive Installation
To install a tape drive: (see Figure 2-1)
1. Open the library front door.
2. Insert the tape drive 3into the drive bay 5.
3. Secure the tape drive in the drive bay by tightening the two captive screws 1. These
quick-release screws are located at the lower left and lower right corners of the tape
drive.
4. Lower the hot-plug sensor lever 2.
NOTE: The drive position is automatically calibrated once the lever is lowered and the drive has
been configured. During this time, the library robotics is unavailable to perform normal
operation. If a library time-out or error message is returned as a result of issuing a robotic
command from the library, re-issue the command after the tape drive Calibration completes.
See Chapter 3 “Library Configuration” for more information.
The tape drive remains in the powered-off state until Configure completes.
The library comes pre-cabled from the factory for a two-drive-per-SCSI-bus configuration.

SCSI Cabling Configuration
Figure 2-2 shows a typical SCSI cable configuration for 10 tape drives.
NOTE: All ESL9198 SeriesTape Libraries are equipped with internal SCSI cables and terminators
in place for a two-drive-per-SCSI bus configuration. Additional SCSI jumper cables and
terminators are supplied in the library Accessory Kit to enable up to four drives per SCSI bus.
