Attaching the libraries
All of the tape libraries must be physically attached to one another. Repeat the
following procedure for all libraries in the configuration.
Note: It is recommended that all ESL9000 Series tape libraries in the MUSL set use the
same drive types. Check with your application software vendor if you want to mix drive
types in the MUSL library.

two people might cause personal injury and/or equipment damage.

left library. (See Figure 2 on page 19 or Figure 2 on page 20 depending on
your model).
