If your library contains FC I/O blades, remove both the I/O blades
and the accompanying fan blades from the expansion module. For

Warning:
Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power
supplies, a control module weighs approximately 58
lbs. An expansion module, without tape drives, tape
cartridges, or power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs.
To avoid serious injury, at least two people are
required to safely lift the modules into position.
Note:
You should label all cables before you remove them so you
can later reconnect them to their proper locations.
