Replace the Module Controller

The Module Controller latches in to the upper-right rear of the Expansion Module.

Caution:

ESD damage. Do not touch any electronic components or electrical contacts.

  1. Remove the replacement module controller from the ESD packaging.
  2. Grasp the Module Controller without touching components or electrical contacts, and open the retaining latch.
  3. Insert the Module Controller, component side up, into the module slot.
  4. Seat the latch in the slot to secure the Module Controller.
  5. Connect the expansion cable input plug to the Module Controller input port.
  6. Connect the expansion cable output plug to the Module Controller output port. This applies to libraries with tape capacity greater than 300 tapes (Module 6 through Module 10). You must remove the dust cover from the output port.

    For cabling, see Cable the Expansion Modules.
