Installing the Module into a rack
See “Installing modules in a rack” on page 45 for details.
Replacing the Module components and cables
Replace the module components by reversing the removal procedures. Align the components carefully in
the guide slots and tighten thumbscrews only with your fingers. If the thumbscrews cannot be tightened
easily, verify that the component is aligned properly.
1. Replace the controller card. See “Replacing a Base or Expansion controller card” on page 132.
2. Replace the tape drives in the same locations.
Tip: To help align the drive, remove the drive bay covers for one drive at a time.
See “Adding, removing, or replacing a tape drive” on page 119.
3. Replace the magazines in the same locations.
4. Replace the power supplies. See “Adding, removing, or replacing a power supply” on page 129.

Verifying Library Module installation and configuration
• Power on the library.
• Verify that the library initializes correctly and that the status is Ready.
• Run Library Verify to verify that the replacement module is visible in the Operator Panel or
Management GUI.
• If a module was replaced, validate the library configuration in the Management GUI at Library > Logical
Libraries.
• Properly complete the Repair Identification (RID) tag that was included with the replacement module.
Note: A RID (Repair Identification) tag maintains the original serial number record of the module to
ensure your warranty coverage, if applicable, is not interrupted. The tag is important for customer
inventory accuracy. Follow the instructions on the RID tag precisely.
– Copy the serial number of the defective module onto the RID tag.
– Apply the tag to the front of the new replacement module.
