• Phillips #2 screwdriver, for removing and replacing the top cover plate
• T10 TORX screwdriver, for removing and replacing the bottom cover plate
Instructions:
1 View your library's current configuration before removing or replacing any library modules to determine which
partitions may be affected, which tape cartridges belong to which partition, and whether cleaning slots are configured
within the library module you are removing or replacing. See
Viewing the Library Configuration.
For example, in
Figure 18, the following library configuration may be observed. Note that there are three partitions
configured. All three partitions share six I/E elements in the 5U Library Control Module. The library is configured for
automatic cleaning and has three cleaning slots configured in the 9U Library Expansion Module.
• Library_a configured all storage elements in the 5U Library Control Module, and has one drive configured in the
5U Library Control Module, and one drive configured in the 9U Library Expansion Module.
• Library_b configured most storage elements in the 5U Library Control Module, but references its last storage
element in the 9U Library Expansion Module. This partition has one drive configured in the 5U Library Control
Module and one drive configured in the 9U Library Expansion Module.
• Library_c configured all storage elements in the 9U Library Expansion Module, and also configured two drives in
this 9U Library Expansion Module.

2 If cleaning slots are configured for automatic, library–initiated cleaning operations, export all affected cleaning media
from the elements contained within the module you are removing or replacing. See
Exporting Cleaning Media.
