Installing Additional Modules Into The Rack - Dell PowerVault ML6010 Troubleshooting Manual

Installing, Removing, and Replacing
4
Install the left rack ear.
a
With the I/E station door open, open the left door (the access door) of the module and locate the slot in the lower
left corner of the module. (The flexible door hinge allows the door to be pulled away from the module, providing
access to the slot.)
Note:
You may need to pull the door toward you in order to access the slot.
b
Install the left rack ear in the same manner as the right rack ear.
c
Using two M5 thumbscrews, fasten the rack ear to the rack. The thumbscrews should thread through the holes in
the rack shelves and fasten completely and evenly.
5
Close the module's doors.
6
Install the remaining modules of your library (if any), following the instructions in
Rack.
7
Reinstall the tape drives in the library.
8
Cable your library as necessary, following the instructions provided in
9
Power on the library.

Installing Additional Modules into the Rack

All modules that you add to the rack must be positioned above the module that you previously installed, since the bottom
module must be secured to the rack-mount shelves (unless you decide to uninstall the entire library from the rack and
reconfigure it).
Required parts: Rack ears, (4) M5 thumbscrews, (4) nut clips or (4) cage nuts
Explanation of parts: Each rack ear contains two elongated holes, enabling you to fasten it to the rack (using the M5
thumbscrews and either the nut clips or cage nuts) using the most accessible mounting holes.

If you are installing a module above a module that currently has a top cover, remove the top cover. Similarly, if the
module you are installing has a bottom cover, remove the bottom cover before installing the module above another
module in the rack. You need to make sure the library is "hollow" all the way through with just one bottom cover on
the lowest module and one top cover on the top module. See

Determine where in the rack to install the nut clips (or cage nuts).
Note:
Consider using the following method to determine where to install the nut clips (or cage nuts) rather than
adding the module to the rack first. If you add the module to the rack first, installing the nut clips (or cage nuts)
can be difficult because rack space has become restricted.

If you are adding a module above a previously racked 9U Library Expansion Module, count nine full units from the
