Installing the New 9U
Expansion Module 12
Install the new 9U expansion module as follows:
1 Prepare the rack to hold modules, if you want to install your library
in a rack. See Installing the Library in a Rack on page 333 for
instructions on installing a rack-mount kit.
2 Remove and replace the cover plates, if appropriate.
a If you plan to stack the 5U Library Control Module at the top of
the library, and if a 9U Library Expansion Module will be located
below it, remove the 5U Library Control Module’s bottom cover
plate and the 9U Library Expansion Module top plate.
b If you plan to stack the 5U Library Control Module between 9U
Library Expansion Modules, remove both the top and bottom
plates of the 5U Library Control Module. Also remove the top
plate of the 9U Library Expansion Module, located below the 5U
Library Control Module, and the bottom plate of the 9U Library
Expansion Module, located above the 5U Library Control
Module.
c If you plan to stack the 5U Library Control Module at the bottom
of the library, and if an 9U Library Expansion Module will be
located above it, remove the 5U Library Control Module’s top
plate and the 9U Library Expansion Module’s bottom plate.
Caution: Before removing the 5U Library Control Module’s bottom
cover plate, the robot assembly must be parked as
described in
