Aligning and Connecting the Module

Aligning the modules ensures that the robotics can move freely 
between the modules.

NOTE: The library will not operate unless the alignment 
mechanism is in the locked position (except the bottom module).

1.

At the back of the library, using the 

alignment lock 

lever

, align and lock the new module to the modules to 

which it connects.
If you encounter resistance, adjust the upper module so 
that the alignment mechanism pin moves into the mating 
hole in the lower module.

2.

Verify that, for the 

lowest

 module in the library, its 

alignment mechanism is in the 

unlocked position

.

3.

From the front of the library, tighten the 

recessed flange 

screws

 on the new module and the adjacent modules to 

secure them all to the rack.

Reinstall Tape Drives

Holding a 

tape drive

 by the handle and supporting it 

from the bottom, position it on the alignment rails in front 
of the appropriate bay.

2.

Slowly slide the tape drive into the 

drive bay

 until it is 

flush with the rear of the library.

3.

Finger-tighten the 

blue thumbscrews

 to secure it.

4.

Repeat 

Steps 1–3

 for any additional tape drives.

Reattach Cables and Cords

1.

Reconnect the 

expansion interconnect cables

 (2) from 

the new module to any adjacent modules.

 (3).

3.

Reconnect the 

SAS/FC cables

 (4) to any tape drives.

AC power cords

 (1).

Reinstall the previously removed tape cartridges.

1.

Release and pull the

 magazine

 out until fully extended.

2.

Load the

 tape cartridges

 into the magazine in the same 

location they were in previously.
Refer to the number on the assembly.

3.

Push the 

magazine 

slowly in by the handle until the 

release latch snaps into place.
