Equipment Description
The DLT tape
drives employed in the Tape Array 5 Rackmount Enclosure are mounted in easily
inserted/removed drive carrier modules. The modules slide into the front of the Tape Array 5
enclosure and are retained with captive screws located at the top and bottom of the carrier. Each
module contains SCSI and power connectors, which dock with mating connectors inside the Tape
Array 5 enclosure. The modules provide all power and data connections between the drives and the
Tape Array 5 enclosure.

The Tape Array 5 enclosure features a snap on/off front bezel. The bezel can be easily snapped off
for drive carrier module insertion/removal. Media cartridges loaded into the drives are accessible
when the bezel is snapped in place.

2. Insert each drive carrier module into the unit by sliding the mounting rail on the drive/carrier
module into the rail guide mounted in the enclosure. The drive carrier module should seat
fully into the enclosure (the mounting screw flanges on the top and bottom of the carrier will
contact the enclosure chassis). Check the carrier to insure proper docking connections.

Caution
When inserting a drive carrier module, be sure that the orientation
of the module is correct. The SCSI data cable connector should be
nearest the top of the carrier.
