    Hello All,
    We have an Exabye robotic tape library that has two SCSI connections to two
    separate external SCSI controllers on an HP9000 Model N4000. We are having
    problems with a couple of the tape drives and they want to upgrade the
    firmware on the robotic. In order to do this they need to disconnect the
    SCSI cables and hook up a PC to the SCSI connection. My question is --- Is
    it safe to power of the robotic tape library and disconnect the SCSI cables
    from the back of the tape library without shutting down the HP9000? I found
    out that when they came in (working with another person in our department)
    to replace the drives that they were doing this. Is this SAFE??????

    Thanks,
    Jim Naylor
