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.

Warning

Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be 

sure that the library’s power switch is off and that the power cord is 

disconnected from the library and the outlet.

Warnung

Vor der Ausführung von Installations- oder Wartungsarbeiten ist 

darauf zu achten, daß der Library-Netzschalter auf “Aus” gestellt ist 

und daß das Anschlußkabel vom Library und der Steckdose entfernt 

ist.

Advertencia

Antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento de instalación o de 

mantenimiento, comprobar que el interruptor de alimentación de la 

biblioteca está apagado y que el cable de alimentación no está 

enchufado ni a la biblioteca ni a la toma de corriente.
