Installing a 5175 Open-Reel Tape Subsystem

A 5175 tape subsystem is an open-reel tape drive in a module on a modular storage

system pedestal as shown in Figure 7-1.

Tape products can be installed by customers when shipped as a self-contained module

(or as two modules) on a pedestal. Of the 517x tape subsystems, only the 5175 tape

subsystem is customer installable. Other maintenance or changes to an installed 5175

tape subsystem require a trained service provider. Likewise, a trained service provider

must install other 517x tape subsystem configurations.

1. To unpack and install a 5175 tape subsystem, you need:

•

Small slotted screwdriver

•

A 15/16-inch (24-mm) or adjustable, open-end wrench

2. If you have a 517x tape subsystem currently connected to another system and you

want to connect it to a server, ask your service provider to ensure the tape drive

firmware is at the firmware or hardware version levels listed in Table 7-1
