Applying a RID Tag to a Library
A RID (Repair Identification) Tag maintains the original serial number record and
WWN of the machine to ensure that your warranty coverage, if applicable, is not
interrupted. The tag is important for customer inventory accuracy. Follow the
instructions on the RID tag precisely.
Figure 8-29. RID tag
1. Copy the machine type (MT) and serial number (SN) from the old library onto
the Repair ID tag ( in Figure 8-29).
2. Copy the Worldwide Name (WWN) from the old library onto the WWN ID label
( in Figure 8-29).
3. Place the RID tag close to, but not covering, the serial number on the new library.
Repeat for the WWN ID label.
