3 Unpacking the tape Library
Before you begin, clear a work surface to unpack the Library. Select an open 4U rack location allowing
easy access to the host server and an easily accessible power outlet.
IMPORTANT
If the temperature in the room where the Library will be
installed varies by 15º C (30º F) from the room where the
Library was stored, allow the Library to acclimate to the
surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before
unpacking it from the shipping container.
Unpacking the Library:
1.
Before opening and removing the Library from the box, inspect the container for shipping damage.
If you notice any damage, report it to the shipping company immediately.
2.
Open the box and remove the two rack rails (if included) and set aside.
3.
Carefully remove the shipping materials from the top of the Library. Remove the accessory
package and set aside.
4.
Lift the Library out of the carton and remove the bag from the Library. Remove the foam cushion
from the back of the Library. Save the packaging materials for future use.
IMPORTANT
Do not place the Library on either end or sides as this
may damage the Library.

Remove the shipping lock
IMPORTANT
The shipping lock, which prevents the robotic transport
mechanism from moving during shipment, must be
removed before the Library is powered on.
The shipping lock is held in place with a label and is located in the top center of the Library. After the
shipping lock is removed, it should be stored on the rear panel right side of the Library for future use.
