PC Server 330 - TR4 tape drive installation

Applicable to: World-Wide

Abstract
TR4 Tape Drive Installation in PC Server 330

Symptom
The IBM TR4 Tape Drive FRU p/n06H9721 (Option p/n06H9716) fails during a backup or does not function at all.

Problem Isolation Aids
The TR4 tape drive is installed in bay 2 on the PC Server 330 (8640-Exx).

Fix
Move the TR4 tape drive to the bottom 3.5 inch bay 3 or move it to any available 5.25 inch bay (non-Hot-swap systems).

The tape drive will not work properly in bay 2 due to pulleys on top of the tape drive which may rub against the metal RF interference shield located between bays 1 and 2. This shield should not be removed.
