IMPORTANT: Current Enterprise Backup Solution configurations support the
DLT-15 Cartridge Library or the TL895 Tape Library, not both simultaneously.
This document will assist with the removal of a Compaq DLT-15
Cartridge Library prior to installing a TL895 Tape Library to the
Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS). It also provides information on
compatibility with previous releases of the TL895.
WARNING: Before making any changes, make sure power is off to the
DLT-15 Cartridge Library and the power cord is removed. Also turn
power off to the Fibre Channel Tape Controller.

Library. Turn off power on Fibre Channel Tape Controller

a. Unplug SCSI cable from FCTC if you intend to use a new
SCSI cable for the new library, or;
b. Unplug SCSI cable from DLT-15 Cartridge Library if you
