Head Swap 2500 to 8000 7-mode

Hi Folks

Looking for any pointers on Moving 2500 HA Pair 7-mode to 8000 7-mode while converting the 2500 into a shelf.

Already have 3 other Shelves attached but numbered 1-3, looking on documents or if any ones done this with these models.

Thanks

Stef

Not Specifically for 2500, but I hope you can use this as a guideline doc.

Thanks Im looking into it now, Will let you know if it helped seems that the best upgrade path is to have disks on the new Head and VOL Copy rather than change the Head.
