Preparing a 2/20 and 4/40 Library for the Upgrade

Installation Overview

Chapter 11-2

Installation Overview

IMPORTANT These procedures are only applicable for Library Models 2/20 and 4/40.

See Chapter 4 for information on upgrading a 6/140 library.

For this upgrade, you are adding additional library modules to increase

the library’s capacity by twenty slots and two drives per upgrade module.

Though these procedures are described later in this guide, here is an

overview of the entire upgrade procedure:

NOTE This procedure should only be performed by a trained service technician.

Remove the top cover and

cosmetic enclosure on the

existing library.

Remove the front panel

components and display

from the existing library.

Remove the silver label

from the top of the existing

library.

For 20 to 40-slot

upgrades, add the vertical

lift assembly to the

transport assembly.

Stack the upgrade module

on top of the existing

library.

Secure the two modules

together with screws.

Install the interconnect

cable between the

motherboards on both

modules.

For 20 to 40-slot

upgrades, install the

vertical lift/transport

assembly into the top of

the chassis.

Add the upgrade notice

label to the back of the

library and under the front

magazine on the lowest

module.

Connect the power cord

and power on the library.

Verify the connection and

run diagnostic tests.

Move the display to the

top module. Replace the

front panel components.

Removing the Cosmetic Enclosure and Cover

Chapter 1 1-3

Preparing for the Upgrade

Removing the Cosmetic Enclosure and Cover

This chapter describes the disassembly procedures needed to prepare the

existing 2/20 and 4/40 library for this upgrade. If your library is

rackmounted and you are upgrading a twenty-slot library to forty slots,

you will need 6 EIA of clearance (10.5 inches) above the existing library

to accommodate the upgrade module. For a forty to sixty-slot upgrade,

you will need 5 EIA of clearance (8.75 inches) above the existing library.

CAUTION This library contains very sensitive electrical components. It is important

to follow the proper procedures for preventing electrostatic discharge

(ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when removing

and replacing cards and major assemblies.

Failure to follow proper procedures could damage the circuitry.

WARNING For rackmounted upgrades, extend the rack’s anti-tip foot and

lower the leveler feet. Failure to extend the anti-tip foot could

result in personal injury or damage to the tape library if the rack

tips over.

Preparing a 2/20 and 4/40 Library for the Upgrade

Removing the Cosmetic Enclosure and Cover

Chapter 11-4

Remove the cosmetic enclosure, cover, and label by following these steps:

1. Power off and unplug the library.

2. For a standalone library, remove the cosmetic enclosure. Refer to

Figure 1-1 for the screw locations. You will not reuse this enclosure

after the upgrade.
