6 Use rack ears to fasten the 5U Library Control Module on top of a 9U Expansion Module.
7 If you placed the 5U Library Control Module on top of a 9U Library Expansion Module, secure the two modules by
tightening the two thumbscrews at the base of the front of the module and the two thumbscrews located at the base of
the back of the module. Then lower the module's guide pin (located at the base of the front of the module) by turning
it and pushing it down.
8 Stack all 9U Library Expansion Modules (if any) in their original positions above the 5U Library Control Module. Use
rack ears to fasten the modules to the rack. Then tighten all thumbscrews located at the base of the front and back of
the modules.
9 Engage the Y-rails. Tighten the thumbscrews and lower the guide pin. Doing this aligns the Y-rail with the Y-rail of the
module beneath it.
a From the front of the library, open the I/E station and access doors of the 5U Library Control Module. Squeeze the
handle of the Y-rail release mechanism, lift it out of its locked position, and slide it downward as far as it will go.

b From the back of the library, find the rear Y-rail release mechanism, which is located in the interior of the right
side of the module. Squeeze the handle of the Y-rail release mechanism, lift it out of its locked position, and slide
it downward as far as it will go.
10 Unpark the robot assembly.
a Gently raise the robot assembly so that it no longer rests on the parking tab.
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.
b With your free hand, move the parking tab in a clockwise direction until it stops in the "unparked" position. When
in the correct position, the parking tab is removed completely from the interior of the module and will not
accidentally swing into the path of the robot.
c Gently release the robot assembly. It will lower to the bottom module of the library.
