20/40 DLT drive install in a ML530 Server
Good Day,
I hope someone out there can help me out here. I have a ML530 I believe it's a G1 or original ML530 server (It is not a G2). The system came with a 20/40 DLT internal Tape drive which is connected to the internal SCSI connecter. The DLT drive went south and I just got a new one by using the SP number that Compaq gave me from a third party source. So from what HP said it should just slip right in since it's the same exact model. FYI: The server also has a 5300 Raid Controller but I am positive that the tape drive is not connected to this The new one doesn't have any rails it's just a plain box. I have not tried to take out the other unit yet and would like advise on the best way of doing so without the least bit of trouble. Does this unit just pop out like a Hard drive and then you pop the new one in or do you have to open the entire unit and slide it out by unhooking the SCSI cables. Any info would be of great help before I start this project. Thank You Adam Raff |

20/40 DLT drive install in a ML530 Server
A good starting place would be he
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/s...30/index2.html Then, open the PDF that says "Setup and Install" from the downloadables thing on the left: ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/supportinfo...139006-001.pdf Then navigate to Figure 2-11 (page 37 of 171) to see how to access the removalble media bay. Once the old drive is removed, you will need to remove the brackets and put them on the new drive you are putting in the system. Hope that helps ... - LC "Adam Raff" wrote in message news Good Day, I hope someone out there can help me out here. I have a ML530 I believe it's a G1 or original ML530 server (It is not a G2).
