9. With a person on each side of the expansion module and a person in front of
the expansion module, pull the module out of the rack.

Replacing an Expansion Module in a Standalone or
Rack-mounted Library (14U or larger)
1. If your library is to be reinstalled into a rack, perform the following:
a. With a person on each side of the expansion module and one person in
front of the expansion module, pick the module up from the work surface
and slide it onto the Rack Kit rails installed in your rack.
b. Lower the locating pin. (Refer to Figure 8-8 on page 8-11).
c. Tighten the front thumb screws.
d.
Lower the gear racks. (Refer to Figure 8-12 on page 8-15).
Important: If the Expansion Module is at the bottom of the library, the gear
