Procedure
1. Plan the installation
2. Power off the library
3. Move a cover to the new module
4. install the module in the rack
5. Align and connect the module
6. Optional: Install tape drives and power supplies
7. Power on the library
8. Verify the installation
Planning the installation
Procedure
1. Decide whether to install this module above or below
the current library modules.
The library supports up to three modules above and
up to three modules below the base module.
2. Prepare the rack space.
The expansion module requires 3U. If other library
modules must be moved to make space for this
module, see the user guide for instructions on moving
library modules.
Powering off the library
Procedure
1. Verify that all host processes are idle.
2. Depress the power button on the front panel for 5
seconds and then release it.
If the library is idle, you can release the button when
the Ready LED begins flashing.
If the library does not perform a soft shutdown,
depress and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
3. If the library has multiple modules, verify that the
robotic assembly is in its parked position behind the
OCP.
IMPORTANT:
Continuing this procedure when the robotic
assembly is not in its parked position could
damage library components.
a. Look though the expansion module windows to
locate the robotic assembly.
b. If you cannot see the robotic assembly through
the windows, remove one of the magazines in the
base module and look through the magazine
opening.
c. If you cannot locate the robotic assembly or it is
not in its parked position behind the OCP, see the
user guide for troubleshooting information.
Moving a library cover plate
The library has removable top and bottom cover plates.
If this expansion module will become the new top or
bottom module of the library, move the applicable library
cover plate.
Procedure
• If this expansion module will be installed as the new
library top module, move the top cover plate from the
top of the library to the top of this expansion module.
• If this expansion module will be installed as the new
library bottom module, move the bottom cover plate
from the bottom of the library to the bottom of this
expansion module.
Moving the top cover plate
Procedure
1. Remove the top cover plate from the current module.
a. Unlock the top cover using two small screwdrivers.
b. Lift the cover front end by about 12 cm.
c. Gently pull the cover forward to disengage from
the pivot point at the module center.
2. Install the cover plate on the other module.
a. With the front of the top cover raised
approximately 12 cm, engage the rear of the cover
