Before beginning this replacement procedure
Ensure that the rack is level side to side and front to back.
Verify that all applications using the library are idle.
If the temperature in the room where the replacement module will
be installed varies by 30
0
F (15
0
C) from the room where it was

9.2 Saving the Configuration
The library configuration settings are stored within the library chassis and will need to be restored after
the replacement module is installed. Therefore, it is recommended to save the configuration settings
before removing the original module. See "Saving the library configuration to a file"
for instructions on
saving configuration settings to a file or USB flash drive via the RMI.
7.9.3 Unlocking the Magazine
Unlock the magazines using the magazine unlock buttons or RMI. If these methods fail, or if a magazine
needs to be removed when the power to the device is off, you can release the magazine manually. Only
one magazine can be open at a time. For detailed instructions, see "Unlocking the magazine
".
As a best practice, perform this procedure while applications are idle. While
the magazine is pulled or removed, the library robotic assembly cannot
move media.
7.9.4 Removing the Tape Cartridges
Remove the tape cartridges noting their locations within the magazine. You will place them in the same
locations in the new magazine after it is installed.
7.9.5 Powering Off the Library
Power off the library from the front panel. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. If the library
does not perform a soft shutdown, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
Verify that the robotic assembly is in its parked position.
Verify that all host processes are idle.
7.9.6 Removing the Module Cables
1. Remove the power cords from the module being replaced.
2. Remove the expansion interconnect cables from the module being replaced and from the modules
connected to it.
Completely removing the cables from both ends prevents damaging the
expansion interconnect cables during module removal and replacement.
3. R
emove any SAS, FC, or Ethernet cables from the module being replaced.
