Before installing the Library Extender, the two Libraries must be installed in a rack in the rack rails
supplied with the Library and the master Library must be installed directly above the lower Library in
the adjacent rack location as shown in Figure 12, page 31.
If you do not need to move either of the Libraries, skip to Relocating tape drives, page 35.
