replace this tape drive.
Go to the instructions for your library
configuration
This tape module kit can be used to add an LTO4 or
later tape drive to a library or replace an existing
LTO2 or later tape drive.
Special steps are needed when adding the first LTO4
or later tape drive to a library that only contains LTO2
or LTO3 tape drives and when replacing an LTO2 or
LTO3 tape drive with a LTO4 or later tape drive.
To install this LTO4 or later tape drive, go to the section
of this guide containing the appropriate procedure:
• “Adding an LTO4 or later tape drive to a library
that already has an LTO4 or later tape drive”
(page 2)
• “Adding an LTO4 or later tape drive to a library
without any LTO4 or later tape drives installed”
(page 3)
• “Replacing an LTO2 or LTO3 tape drive in a
library that already has an LTO4 or later tape
drive” (page 5)
