Dell PowerVault 132T LTO: Upgrading to LTO-3 Tape Drive Modules

This document provides essential information for upgrading your Dell PowerVault 132T LTO tape library. It guides users through the process of replacing existing LTO-1 or LTO-2 tape drives with the newer LTO-3 tape drive modules.

The upgrade process involves several key steps:

Installing the new LTO-3 drive modules.
Updating the tape library's firmware to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Configuring the tape library, specifically for native Fibre Channel drives, to integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure.

Detailed instructions are provided for both SCSI and native Fibre Channel drive installations, including important notes on drive bay placement and potential configuration changes. The guide also outlines two methods for updating the tape library firmware: using the tape library's serial port or utilizing the remote management unit.
