Adding Expansion Modules to an Existing Library
Adding expansion modules to the library increases the number of data
cartridges available within the library system. These instructions explain
how to add an expansion module to an existing library.
There are some configuration settings to take into account when adding
an expansion module to an existing library.
• All COD licenses remain the same. If the current license key does not
cover the expanded capacity, you will need a new license key to use
the newly available slots.
Note: The maximum number of expansion modules supported in a
library depends on the level of firmware the library is running.
The latest firmware must be installed on the library if you are
upgrading from a 5U or 14U configuration to a larger
configuration. The latest firmware can be found at
www.quantum.com/support
. See Updating Library and Tape
Drive Firmware on page 282 for more information.
