Installing a New 14U Library Configuration
Use this procedure for installing a new 14U library. A 14U library contains a control module and one 9U
expansion module.
Preparing to Install a 14U Library
Required tools:
•
Phillips #2 screwdriver, for removing and replacing the top cover plate
•
T10 TORX screwdriver, for removing and replacing the bottom cover plate
1
Prepare the rack to hold modules, if you want to install your library in a rack. See
Installing the
Rackmount Kit
on page 138 for instructions on installing a rackmount kit.
2
Make sure all tape drives have been removed from all of the modules you plan to install. See
Adding,
Removing, and Replacing Tape Drives
on page 148 for instructions on removing tape drives.
3
Make sure all power supplies have been removed from all of the modules you plan to install. See
Adding, Removing, and Replacing Power Supplies
on page 136 for instructions on removing power
supplies.
4
Park the robot assembly in the control module. Before unstacking the library, the robot assembly must
be placed in the control module.
a. Open the I/E station and access doors of each module.
b. Using your hands, gently lift the robot assembly into the control module. The robot assembly
should glide slowly and with some resistance.
c. After raising the robot assembly to the approximate middle of the control module, hold it in place
with one hand and, using your other hand, swivel the parking tab toward you. The metal parking
tab is located at the bottom of column 1.
There are no restrictions on where the 5U control module can be
installed in the 14U library configuration. However, the recommended
placement of the 5U control module is on top of the 9U expansion
module.
