Prepare the Modules
Depending on the new Expansion Module’s location, transfer
either the top or bottom
module cover
from the last module
in that location to the new Expansion Module.
•
If you are installing the Expansion Module
below
the
module stack, move the bottom module’s cover to the
Expansion Module.
•
If you are installing the Expansion Module
above
the
module stack, move the top module’s cover to the
Expansion Module.
IMPORTANT: A NEOxl tape library modular system can
support up to six Expansion Modules, three above and
three below. If you have not yet determined the architecture of
your configuration, refer to Chapter 1, “Supported
Configurations,”
in
the
NEOxl 80 Tape Library Administrator’s
Guide
for details.
1.
Using the mechanical lifter, remove the
existing
module
from which you are moving the cover plate.
2.
Place the
module
you removed on a secure work table.
If you are removing the bottom cover, gently
turn the
module over
so you can access the bottom.
3.
Place the new
Expansion Module
on the work table
next to the module you removed.
If you are adding the bottom cover, gently
turn the
module over
so you can access the bottom.
4.
Insert a small flathead screwdriver or Torx screwdriver
into the front hole (1) to retract the
spring lock
, slide
the
cover
(2) forward until it reaches the tool, remove
the tool, and then continue sliding the cover to the front
of the module until all the tabs are released.
5.
Remove the
cover
(3) from the existing module.
6.
At the Expansion Module, install the
cover
.
Align all cover tabs with the slots, gently push it down,
and then slide the cover towards the rear until the
spring lock engages.
7.
If the
modules
are upside down, gently turn them both
back over.
8.
Using the mechanical lifter, reinstall the
existing
module
back into the rack in its same location.
Step 4
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to equipment, always remove any power cords
while working with the unit.
WARNUNG: Um das Risiko eines elektrischen Schlags
oder Schäden am Gerät zu vermeiden, ziehen Sie stets
den Netzstecker, bevor Sie an der Einheit arbeiten.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque de choc
électrique ou endommagement de l'équipement, retirez
toujours les cordons électriques en travaillant avec
l'appareil.
The NEOxl 80 6U tape libraries are expandable and accept
add-on components to enhance performance:
•
The Expansion Module comes without tape drives. Tape
drives are always installed in the module from the
bottom bay up.
•
A second Power Supply Unit can be added to Expansion
Module for redundancy.
IMPORTANT: Follow the component instructions included
with each item to be sure they are installed correctly.
Step 5
A NEOxl 80 6U Expansion Module comes with a rack kit for
easy installation and securing of the module into a 19-inch
(EIA-310) rack.
IMPORTANT: Two-post telco-style or other racks less than
29 inches in depth will NOT support these modules.
Install the Rack Rails
1.
Determine the location in your rack for your Expansion
Module to be installed and, using a pencil, mark the
location
on each vertical rail in your rack.
Reserve 6U (10.5 in.)
&
Each EIA unit (1U) starts at a
narrow gap and has three holes
and two wide gaps above it
