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.
Figure 1-1 Removing the Cosmetic Standalone Enclosure

Removing the Cosmetic Enclosure and Cover
Chapter 1 1-5
Preparing for the Upgrade
Remove the top cover from the existing library. Save these screws to
reinstall the vertical lift top cover after the upgrade. Refer to
Figure 1-2 for the screw locations.
•For 40 to 60-slot rackmounted upgrades, you will need to remove
the stop latch bracket to remove the vertical lift cover. See
Figure 2-10 on page 2-14.
•For libraries rackmounted in a 55-mm bezel depth rack, remove
the trim brackets from each side of the library (see Figure 2-11 on
page 2-15 or Figure 3-6 on page 3-10 for the location of the trim
bracket screws). The trim brackets secure the library to the rack.
•Push the library 2/3 of the way out of the rack by using the vertical
handle at the back of the library. Do not push the library past the
stop bracket.
3. Remove the silver label on top of the library chassis (Figure 1-2). Yo u
must remove this label to connect the library modules together.

Removing the Cosmetic Doors
Chapter 11-6
Removing the Cosmetic Doors
NOTE Depending on your library model and configuration, the cosmetic doors
might look different from the illustrations.
1. Pull the front door outward. Use the key, if necessary, to unlock the
door.
2. Remove the front magazine by lifting the handle on the top of the
magazine and pulling upward (Figure 1-3 on page 1-7). Make a note of
where the magazines are located so that you reinstall them in the same
place.
3. Push the release tab on the back of the cosmetic door and
simultaneously pull upward on the sheet-metal tab to release the
door (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-7).
CAUTION To avoid breaking the tab, do not use excessive force.
4. Remove the remaining cosmetic doors by following the steps above.

Removing the Front Panel Display
Chapter 11-8
Removing the Front Panel Display
CAUTION This library contains very sensitive electrical components. Follow the
proper procedures for preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use
wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when removing and
replacing cards and assemblies.
Failure to follow proper procedures could damage the circuitry.
1. Remove the display cover and chin plate underneath the display on
the existing library module. The screw locations are indicated in
Figure 1-4. Save these screws to later reinstall the display cover and
chin plate.
NOTE Your library might only be one module instead of two modules, which is
shown in Figure 1-4.
2. Remove the display cover by lifting it upward and away from the
library.

3. Remove the two screws that connect the display to the chassis
(Figure 1-5). Save these screws to later reconnect the display.
Figure 1-5 Removing the Front Panel Display and RFI Shield
4. Remove the front panel display by sliding it upward, then gently
lifting it away from the front of the library.
5. Disconnect the cable from the back of the display by grasping the
sides of the connector and pulling outward. Place the front panel in
an ESD-protected area.
CAUTION Ensure the display cable is not obstructing the internal moving parts.
Secure the cable to the side of the chassis.
6. Remove the black RFI display shield, which is located behind the
display (Figure 1-5). Two screws secure the sheet-metal shield to the
library chassis.

Preparing the Upgrade Module Chassis
Chapter 11-10
Preparing the Upgrade Module Chassis
In addition to preparing the existing library for the upgrade, you will
also need to modify the upgrade module chassis to optimize the upgrade
procedure.
•Unpack the chassis from the upgrade kit.
From the front of the upgrade module, remove the black sheet-metal
RFI shield. See Figure 1-5 on page 1-9 for the location and
instructions on removing this part. Save these screws to later re-
install the shield.
•On the 20 to 40-slot upgrade, remove the top cover from the upgrade
module. See Figure 1-2 on page 1-5 for the location and instructions
on removing the top cover.
