Installing the cartridge elevator

To install the cartridge elevator, complete the following procedure:

Note:

The following procedure assumes that the modules have been prepared for
rack-mount installation or are installed in a rack.

Ensure that the router is mounted at the top of the rack.

If modules are rack-mounted, verify that all units are powered down and the
power cords are removed.

Note:

Attempting to install the cartridge elevator to a fully powered 4560SLX
Tape Library module might cause severe damage to unit circuitry.
