Unpacking the Modular Storage System
Unpacking the Modular Storage System
The tape drives arrive from the factory already installed in a modular storage system
stack. The stack can consist of tape modules, disk modules, or both. The tape drives
and modular storage system are shipped in two customer-installable configurations:
one module on a pedestal or two modules on a pedestal. Tape drives, ACLs, and
power supplies come preinstalled in their respective customer-replaceable units
(CRUs). A mixed stack of tape drives and disk drives must be installed by a trained
service provider.
You need the following tools to unpack the modular storage system:
•
Band cutters
•
24-mm (15/16-inch) or adjustable, open-ended wrench
The following table describes the packaging for the components that the tape drives
will connect to.
For tape drive CRUs that include an ACL, the cartridge magazine is packaged
separately. Be sure to put the cartridge magazine in the magazine compartment prior
to using the tape drive.
Each tape drive is shipped with a user’s kit containing the following items:
•
5190/5194 Read Me First card
•
Blank data cartridge
•
Cleaning cartridge
•
