Note:

If your library is installed in a rack, it is 

not

 necessary to remove the library from the rack to complete this 

procedure. It is also not necessary to disconnect the Ethernet cable from the back of the library.

Obtain these items

—a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver.

Ensure that the environment is free of conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD)

—If possible, 

use an antistatic mat and a grounded static protection wristband during installation. If a mat and wristband 

are not available, touch a known grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.
