    ADD THE 5 GIGABYTE OR 5/10 GIGABYTE TAPE UPGRADE OPTION

    
       Installing the new Tape Drive
    
    
    
         1. Power down the CPU unit and peripheral unit.  Disconnect the power
    
            cord from the wall outlet.  Then unplug all connections between the
    
            CPU unit and the peripheral unit.  Remove the CPU unit from the top
    
            of the peripheral unit.
    
    
    
         2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the back of the
    
            peripheral unit.  Save the screw for use in Step 13.
    
    
    
         3. Pull the cover firmly towards the back of the peripheral unit and
    
            lift up to expose the inside. 
    
    
    
         4. Remove the filler plate from the front of the peripheral unit.  Pry
    
            up gently on the catch pins with a flathead screwdriver and push
    
            inwards with your fingers to release the plate.
    
    
    
         5. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the bottom of
    
            the peripheral unit.  Save the screw for use in Step 8.  
    
    
    
         6. Remove the tape unit from the anti-static bag and remove the clear
    
            protective plastic cover from the back of the tape drive.  Peel the
    
            protective film from the tape drive window.
    
    
    
         7. Align the new tape drive with the four slots on the bottom of the
    
            peripheral unit.  Push firmly toward the front of the peripheral
    
            unit.  You may need to hold the cables aside with one hand.
    
    
    
         8. Use a Phillips screwdriver to replace the screw you removed in Step
    
            5.
    
    
    
         9. Connect the power cable to the new tape drive.
    
    
    
         10.Connect the SCSI cable to the new tape drive.  Push firmly until
    
            pins on either side of the SCSI cable receptor click inward.
    
    
    
         11.Set the SCSI ID of the new tape drive using the DIP switch found
    
            next to the SCSI cable connector on the tape drive:
    
    
    
            Note:     If you have an older peripheral unit with an external
    
            SCSI Selector switch, we recommend you disconnect the SCSI Selector
    
            switch cable and use the on-board SCSI ID switches.
    
    
    
         12.Replace the peripheral unit's cover.
    
    
    
         13.Replace the screw you removed in Step 2.
    
    
    
         14.Connect all cables between the peripheral unit and the CPU unit. 
    
            Connect the power cable to a wall outlet.  After you turn on the
    
            power, both the green and amber LEDs will come on.
    
    
    
           *   No tape in drive: Both LEDs turn off in about 30 seconds.
    
    
    
           *   Tape in drive: The amber LED turns off in about 30 seconds.  The
    
              green LED comes on for 30 seconds, flashes for 30 seconds, then
    
              remains on.
    
    
    
         15.You must use Central Console to configure the tape drives before
    
            you can use them.  To configure:
    
    
    
           a.  Choose Configuration from Central Console

           e.  Choose Done.
    
    
    
         16.The StorageExpress system will reboot with the new tape drive
    
            configuration.  You can verify that at the tape drive configured
    
            properly by inserting a tape and using Central Console:
