This document, the "DEC 7000 AXP System VAX 7000 Removable Media Installation Guide" (Order Number EK-TFRRD-IN.001), is intended for Digital customer service engineers and self-maintenance customers.

Published in January 1993, it provides comprehensive instructions for installing, removing, replacing, and troubleshooting removable media devices in DEC 7000/10000 and VAX 7000/10000 systems.

The guide specifically covers:

• RRD42 Compact Disk Drive: Used with DEC 7000/10000 systems via the SCSI protocol, requiring a KZMSA adapter.
• TF85 Tape Drive: Used with VAX 7000/10000 systems via the DSSI protocol, requiring a KFMSA adapter.

The manual is structured into three main chapters:

1. Preparation: Provides an overview of the removable media components and guidelines for preparing for installation, including detailed kit contents for both TF85 and RRD42 options.
2. Installation: Offers step-by-step procedures for adding new removable media, as well as removal and replacement instructions for the TF85 tape drive and RRD42 compact disk drive within the system or expander cabinet.
3. Acceptance and Troubleshooting: Details the acceptance procedure after installation, how to restore power and check self-test results, and provides specific troubleshooting guidelines for both the TF85 tape drive (including light summaries) and the RRD42 compact disk drive (including LED summaries).
