Expansion Module Chassis
The expansion module CRU is shown in Figure 3–22.Youmust transfer cartridge
magazines, tape drives, tape drive fillers, power supplies, power supply fillers, and
the module controller from the failed module to the CRU, as applicable.
To replace a defective module, you might need to deinstall several operational
modules to access the defective one. For example, a 150 cartridge library consists of
five modules. If module 2 is defective, you would need to remove module 5, module 4,
and module 3 to gain access to the defective module 2. You will also need to remove
the cartridge magazines from the module above the defective module.
