Replacing the 5U Library Control Module
Dell PowerVault ML6000 User’s Guide 302
a If your library consists of only the 5U Library Control Module, do
not remove the plates.
b If you plan to stack the 5U Library Control Module at the top of
the library, and if a 9U Library Expansion Module is located
below it, remove the 5U Library Control Module’s bottom cover
plate.
c If you plan to stack the 5U Library Control Module in the middle
of the library, remove both the top and bottom cover plates.
d If you plan to stack the 5U Library Control Module at the bottom
of the library, and if a 9U Library Expansion Module is located
above it, remove the 5U Library Control Module’s top cover
plate.
3 Remove the LCB from the removed 5U Library Control Module and
set it aside.
The LCB stores information about the library’s contents and
configuration, so you will probably want to install this LCB in the
new 5U Library Control Module. For details about removing the
LCB, see Removing and Replacing the Library Control Blade and
LCB Compact Flash Card on page 320.
4 If the library configuration includes 9U Library Expansion Modules
below the 5U Library Control Module, install them in the library
now.
5 Install the new 5U Library Control Module in the library. Lift the 5U
Library Control Module and, from the front of the library, place it in
the desired location.
Caution: Before removing the 5U Library Control Module’s
bottom cover plate, the robot assembly must be
parked as described in Preparing to Remove or
Replace a Module on page 277.
Note: If you plan to stack the 5U Library Control Module on top
of a 9U Expansion Module, be sure to park the robot in the
5U Library Control Module first.
