(NonStop Himalaya K-Series Servers)
If you used COUP to add the modular tape subsystem to your system configuration,
you do not need to load the operating system image. If you did not use COUP, you
must load the new operating system image from the SYSnn subvolume created when
you ran the DSM/SCM program. You cannot use Peripheral Utility Program (PUP) or
Compaq Tandem Maintenance and Diagnostic System (TMDS) commands on the
modular tape subsystem if you have not yet prepared the system configuration using
the DSM/SCM program. For instructions on loading the operating system image, see
the operations manual for your system.
Bringing the Tape Drives Online After
Installation
After the modular tape subsystem has been installed and the cables have been
attached, you can bring the tape drives in that subsystem online. Use the following
procedure for each tape drive CRU in the modular tape subsystem:
1. Verify that the AC power cord for the drive CRU is plugged into an external power
source.
2. If the drive CRU has an ACL, remove the foam packing piece from the cartridge
magazine compartment and make sure the cartridge magazine is on its carriage
inside the compartment.
3. Apply power to the drive CRU by setting the AC power switch to the ON (|) position
(see Figure 3-24).
