Chapter 7 Installing, Removing, and Replacing
Replacing an Expansion Module
Scalar i500 User’s Guide
260
There are some configuration settings to take into account when
removing and replacing an expansion module.
• COD licenses remain the same. After the expansion module is
removed, there may be more slots licensed than are available. Only
the available slots appear on the
License
screen.
• All resources in the removed module(s) are removed. A partition
with all resources in the removed module(s) will be present with no
slots or drives. This partition can only be deleted.
The best practice before removing and replacing an expansion module is
to:
• Using your I/E station, export all the tape cartridges from your
library.
• Delete all partitions.
• Delete all cleaning slots.
• Set the number of I/E station slots to six.
Note:
The maximum number of expansion modules supported
in a library depends on the level of firmware the library is
running. See
Updating Library and Tape Drive Firmware
on page 163 for more information.
Warning:
All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack
having a main protective earthing (grounding)
terminal, and power must be supplied via an
industrial plug and socket-outlet and/or an appliance
coupler complying with IEC 60309 (or an equivalent
national standard) and having a protective earth
(ground) conductor with a cross sectional area of at
least 1.5 mm
2
(14 AWG).
To ensure proper airflow and access space, Allow 60
cm (24 inches) in the front and back of the library.
