only to the right of the control module for all configurations and the
LPM is always to the left of the CM.
For Gen 2 dual-robot configurations that include HDEMs, the library's
maximum configuration includes up to 14 HDEMs and a single standard
expansion module to serve as the right parking module. This is because
an HDEM cannot be used as a parking module.
For the i11 release, standard expansion modules in positions 9 through
16 are no longer restricted to storage-only. Now all standard expansion
modules can accommodate the following functional units:
• I/O Management Unit
• Control Management Blade
• Fibre Channel I/O Blades
• Ethernet Expansion Blades
• Robot on page 27
• Import/Export Station
• Tape Drives and Media
• Magazines on page 30
• Cartridges on page 31
• Power System on page 32 (required only if drives are installed; if an
expansion module contains only cartridges, all power is derived
from the control module).
