Preparing to Use the Library
1 Replace the tape blockers (if required) in the bottom row of the lowest module of the library. The tape
blockers block slots in the bottom two rows of the library. You can insert the tape blockers through the
open access door.

on
page 127.
3 Add the power supplies. For details, see Adding, Removing, and Replacing Power Supplies
on page

4 Add the LCB to the 5U Library Control Module. For details, see Removing and Replacing the Library
Control Blade and LCB Compact Flash Card on page 102.
5 If your library contains FC I/O blades, install both the I/O blades and the accompanying fan blades in
the expansion module. For details, see Adding, Removing, and Replacing FC I/O Blades

your library contains a Model 2 robot, do NOT install tape blockers. For
more information, see Removing and Replacing the Robot Assembly
