System Expansion

A DLT LibraryXpress System may be expanded in capacity or performance or both by
adding or removing modules. Associated with each module is a section of the
XpressChannel™ pass-through cartridge elevator. Smartscale Storage system firmware
integrates the robotics in the individual modules and the Global Control's XpressChannel into
a single high-performance library robotics system.

Conversion of Free-Standing Base Modules for System Use

Your existing LibraryXpress Base Modules may be added to your system by resetting internal
jumpers, removing the pass-through cover plate, and in some cases converting from desktop to
rack mount. An update of firmware may also be required. These tasks should be performed by
qualified service personnel.
