The differences between the disk drive and tape drive versions are the following:

Due to the design of the DSM, you must first remove the disk drive or the tape drive before you can remove the power supply. You need to remove the power supply before you can remove the I/O bracket assembly. However, you do not need to remove the drive to remove and replace the LED harness assembly in the DSM disk drive version.

Figures 1-6 and 1-7 show an exploded view of the disk drive and the tape drive versions. The part numbers in these figures, correct as of the publication date of this document, are subject to change. Consult your authorized Sun sales representative or service provider to confirm part numbers before you order new or replacement parts.

Note that not all of the part numbers are replacement parts. See Appendix B for the replacement parts list.
