Replace the Expansion FRU Chassis

Replacing the Expansion Module is very similar to installing a new Expansion Module.

• Install the Expansion Module Chassis
• Install CRUs, Fillers, and Magazines in Replaced Module
• Install the Remaining Expansion Modules
• Cable the Library and Power On After Installing the Expansion Module

Install the Expansion Module Chassis

Install the Expansion Module in the rack below an existing module.

1. Grasp the Expansion Module chassis by the sides and remove it from the shipping carton.
2. Remove the magazines from the Expansion Module.

   See Prepare the Expansion Module by Removing the Cartridge Magazines.

3. If this will be the bottom module of the library, install the library floor now.

   See Install the Floor in the Bottom Expansion Module.

4. Mount the module.

   See Mount the Expansion Module.

5. Install the rails.

   See Install the Rear Rails for the Expansion Module.

6. Secure the module.

   See Secure the Expansion Module to the Rack Front

Install CRUs, Fillers, and Magazines in Replaced Module

Reinstall the functional components removed from the defective Expansion Module.

1. Install the module controller.

   See Replace the Module Controller.

   Tip:

   When the library capacity is more than 300 cartridges, you will not connect the output port for Module 6 through Module 10 now. You connect the port when installing Module 11 through Module 15.

2. Install the tape drive assembly.

   See Replace the Drive Tray.

3. Install the tape drive filler.

   See Install the Drive Slot Cover.

6. Insert the cartridge magazines.

   See Replace the Cartridge Magazines.

Install the Remaining Expansion Modules

Replace modules below the new Expansion Module.

1. Locate the next Expansion Module for installation (refer to the module number label on the back of the module).
2. Repeat the installation tasks until all Expansion Modules and CRUs are installed.

   See Install the Expansion Module Chassis.

   See Install CRUs, Fillers, and Magazines in Replaced Module.

3. Make sure you have installed the floor in the bottom module.

   See Install the Floor in the Bottom Expansion Module.

Cable the Library and Power On After Installing the Expansion Module

After installing the module, you must reconnect cabling and power on the library.

1. Reconnect all cables.

   See Cable the Library.

2. Secure the hook and loop strap to the replaced Expansion Module (close the plunger of the rivet).
3. Align, dress, and secure cables in the hook and loop straps.
4. Follow the power on procedures.
