Installing a New Multi-Module Library Configuration

Use this procedure for installing a new multi-module library. A multi-module library contains a 5U Library Control Module and
one or two 9U Library Expansion Modules.
There are no restrictions on where the 5U Library Control Module can be installed in the library configuration. However, the
recommended placement of the control module for library configurations up to 32U is on top of all installed 9U expansion
modules. The recommended placement of the control module for 41U library configurations is on top of three 9U expansion
modules and below the top expansion module.

Warning:
All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack having a main protective earthing
(grounding) terminal, and power must be supplied via an industrial plug and socket-outlet and/or an
appliance coupler complying with IEC 60309 (or an equivalent national standard) and having a protective
earth (ground) conductor with a cross sectional area of at least 1.5 mm 2 (14 AWG).
To ensure proper airflow and access space, Allow 60 cm (24 inches) in the front and back of the library.
