Installing the Module into a rack
See “Installing modules in a rack” on page 56 for details.
Replacing the Module components and cables
Replace the module components by reversing the removal procedures. Align the components carefully in
the guide slots and tighten thumbscrews only with your ngers. If the thumbscrews cannot be tightened
easily, verify that the component is aligned properly.
1. Replace the controller card. See “Replacing a Base or Expansion controller card” on page 162.
2. Replace the tape drives in the same locations.
Tip: To help align the drive, remove the drive bay covers for one drive at a time.
See “Adding, removing, or replacing a tape drive” on page 150.
3. Replace the magazines in the same locations.
4. Replace the power supplies. See “Adding, removing, or replacing a power supply” on page 160.
5. Reattach any SAS, FC, expansion interconnect, and Ethernet cables that was removed earlier.
6. Reinsert the USB device if you removed it earlier.
7. Reattach the power cords.
Verifying Library Module installation and conguration
• Power on the library.
• Verify that the library initializes correctly and that the status is Ready.
• Run Library Verify to verify that the replacement module is visible in the Operator Panel or
Management GUI.
• If a module was replaced, validate the library conguration in the Management GUI at Library > Logical
Libraries.
• Properly complete the Repair Identication (RID) tag that was included with the replacement module.
Note: A RID (Repair Identication) tag maintains the original serial number record of the module to
ensure your warranty coverage, if applicable, is not interrupted. The tag is important for customer
inventory accuracy. Follow the instructions on the RID tag precisely.
– Copy the serial number of the defective module onto the RID tag.
– Apply the tag to the front of the new replacement module.
