can designate new cleaning slots after the module has been removed
or replaced. See Configuring Cleaning Slots on page 79.
4 If the module you are removing or replacing contains tape drives,
make sure that none of the tape drives have media mounted. See
Unloading Tape Drives on page 175.

If the module you are removing or replacing contains I/E slots,
remove all media from the affected I/E slots and store them
separately for each partition so you can import them back into the
same partition once the module removal or replacement is complete.
6
If one or more partitions reference any storage slots within the
module you are removing or replacing, export all tape cartridges
from the affected partitions and keep the exported cartridges
separated by partition, so you can import them back into the same
partition once the module removal or replacement is complete. See
Exporting Media on page 172.
7
If a partition references storage slots within the module you are
removing or replacing, delete such partition. You can create new
partitions after modules have been removed or replaced. See
Working With Partitions on page 71.
Caution:
The library will not be able to locate tape cartridges
that are removed from one partition and returned to a
different partition. The tape cartridges must be
returned to the same partition from which they were
removed.
