Mount the Expansion Module

The Expansion Module mounts to the bottom of the module already in the rack.

  1. Lift the module to the bottom of the installed module. Grasp the module by the sides. Do not lift the module by the tape drive filler.
  2. Insert the rear edge of the module flange into the grooves on the bottom edge of the installed module and push the 2U Expansion Module in approximately 75 millimeters (3 inches).
  3. Lower the front edge of the module approximately 10 mm (0.4 inch), guide any sharp metal edges away from the upper module front panel, and push the module in until the sharp edges are past the front panel (see Figure 2-18 ).

    Caution:

    Do not scratch the front panel of the module above.

  4. Raise the front of the 2U module, push the module in, and engage the module left and right side flanges with the grooves in the already installed module.
  5. Push the module in and seat the alignment tab in the slot of the left magazine bay (see Figure 2-19).
