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.
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.
Installing a module in the rack
Procedure
1. Ensure that the rack is level front to back and side to side.
IMPORTANT:
Verify that the rack is level front to back and side to side before installing a module into the rack.
Racks that are not level can prevent the modules from aligning properly.
2. From the front of the rack while supporting the bottom of the module in the areas supported by the
rack shelves, set the back of the module on the front of the rack shelves. Push the module into the
rack until the front of the module contacts the rack posts.
3. Verify that this module has been installed directly above or below its adjacent module and is contained
with the correct 3U volume.
The gap between modules must be less than 4mm.
4. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive fasteners on each side of the module.
•
When installing a base module in a library without expansion modules, tighten the captive fasteners
until they are finger tight. Do not over tighten.
•
When installing a module in a library with expansion modules, tighten the captive fasteners just
until they retain the module in the rack. Leave them loose enough that the module can be adjusted
on the shelves.
5. Verify that the top cover plate is at the top of the library and that the bottom cover plate is at the bottom
of the library.
Installing optional components
Each expansion module supports up to three tape drives and two power supplies. At least one power
supply is required for an expansion module with one or more tape drives.
