Media Expansion Modules (MEMs)

All LRMs can be expanded by adding one or two MEMs on either side. The XLS-89000
holds an additional 1,075 cartridges, while the XLS-85000 contains 535 cartridges. If you
plan to install MEMs (whether during the initial installation or in the future), consider
the recommended installation order:
1. Install the base unit.
2. Install the MEM on the right side of the base.
3. Install the MEM on the left side of the base.
