SS,

I think a hardware engineer should come and replace it, if you want to replace it just search the manual for it may help.

Better you log a hardware case.

Thank you Kapil, Asif and Dennis for responding to my query.
As Kapil said i browsed and found the manual to replace the HP StorageWorks Array DAT72 tape drive.
Now i am familiar with the steps to do to replace the drive.

I am attaching the manual for anyone who want to know the steps.

Many thanks.

Hi,

I re-again browsed the HP website for the URL and have found it.
Here is the link to access the manual.

and look for the doc "DAT 72 tape drive Getting Started Guide, rack mounted English"

Thank you!
