Adding 9U Library Expansion Modules to an Existing Library
Adding 9U Library Expansion Modules to the library increases the number of data cartridges available within the library
system. These instructions explain how to add a 9U Library Expansion Module to an existing library.
Note: The maximum number of 9U Library Expansion Modules supported in a library depends on the level of firmware
the library is running. The latest firmware must be installed on the library if you are upgrading from a 5U or 14U
configuration to a larger configuration. The latest firmware can be found at on the Dell Support Web site. For the Dell
Support Web site address, see Contacting Dell. See
Updating Library and Tape Drive Firmware for more information.
