Replacing a 9U Library Expansion Module
These instructions explain how to remove and replace a 9U Library
Expansion Module. You may need to replace the 9U Library Expansion
Module if its chassis is severely damaged.
A library can use up to four 9U Library Expansion Modules to a
maximum height of 41U.
There are some configuration settings to take into account when
removing and replacing a 9U Library Expansion Module.
• COD licenses remain the same. After the 9U Library Expansion
Module is removed, there may be more slots licensed than are
available. Only the available slots appear on the License screen.
• All resources in the removed module(s) are removed. A partition
with all resources in the removed module(s) will be present with no
slots or drives. This partition can only be deleted.
Note: The maximum number of 9U Library Expansion Module
supported in a library depends on the level of firmware
the library is running. See Updating Library and Tape
Drive Firmware on page 199 for more information.
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.
