This chapter describes basic autoloader maintenance tasks that you can 

perform on-site without the aid of a service technician. These tasks include:



Replacing the tape drive



Cleaning the autoloader



Upgrading autoloader firmware and creating diagnostic listings via FTP



Upgrading autoloader firmware and creating diagnostic listings using 

Exabyte LibTool



Upgrading tape drive firmware and creating diagnostic listings using 

Exabyte LTOTool.

This section describes how to replace the autoloader’s tape drive. You can 

order a new tape drive from Exabyte (see 

) or from your supplier.

Do not attempt to replace any components in the autoloader, other than the tape 

drive. If you do so, you will void your warranty.

! 

New tape drives must be specially configured for use in the 

autoloader and must therefore be ordered directly from Exabyte 

or from an Exabyte-approved supplier.
You must replace the installed tape drive with the same 

configuration tape drive, as follows: 
ƒ

Full height to full height

-or-

ƒ

Half height to half height

You cannot replace a full height with a half height, or vice versa.
