Installing the Modular Tape
Subsystem
This section tells you how to plan for and install the modular tape subsystem. This
section covers the following topics:
Unless stated otherwise, each topic in this section applies to both NonStop Himalaya
K-series servers and NonStop Himalaya S-series servers.
Service Classes of Components
The system hardware components that you can replace are called customer-
replaceable units (CRUs). The 5190/5194 modular tape subsystem is a Class-2 CRU.
A Class-2 CRU might cause a partial or total system outage if the documented
replacement procedure is not followed correctly.
Customers replacing a Class-2 CRU should have either three or more months of
experience with replacing NonStop Himalaya S-series CRUs, or equivalent training.
Also, customers must:
•
Be able to use the tools needed for the replacement procedure
•
Protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD)
