supplies, exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

You need to unstack the library to install the new 9U Library Expansion Module at the bottom of the new library configuration.
1 Upgrade the library firmware to a level that can support the number of modules you are adding. See Updating Library
and Tape Drive Firmware for information on upgrading firmware.
2 Remove all tape cartridges from the library using the import and export commands of the operator panel or Web
client.
3 Power off the library.
4 Disconnect all power cords, network data cables, and module-to-module cables from all of the modules.
Note: You should label all cables before you remove them so you can later reconnect them to their proper
locations.
5 Park the robot assembly in the 5U Library Control Module. Before unstacking the library, the robot assembly must be
placed in the 5U Library Control Module.
a Open the I/E station and access doors of each module.
b Using your hands, gently lift the robot assembly into the 5U Library Control Module. The robot assembly should
glide slowly and with some resistance.
Caution: Support the robot assembly by holding onto the broad metal X-axis plate. Lifting the robot by the thin
metal rod will bend the rod. Lifting the robot by the black plastic picker body can damage the robot.
c After raising the robot assembly to the approximate middle of the 5U Library Control Module, hold it in place with
one hand and, using your other hand, move the parking tab in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops in the
"parked" position. The metal parking tab is located at the bottom of column 1.
d Gently lower the robot assembly to rest on the parking tab.
