Preparing the Library for Moving or Shipping
Before you move or ship your library, follow these steps:
1 Save the library configuration (see Saving the Library Configuration
on page 385).
2 Shut down the library using the local operator panel (Operations >
System Shutdown
). This lowers the robot to the “shipping” position
on the floor of the library.
3 Follow instructions on the operator panel screen.
4 Turn off library power by pressing the power button on the front
panel.
5 Turn off the power to each power supply on the back of the library.
6 Install the orange robot restraint assembly that secures the robot to
the floor of the library. The robot restraint assembly was part of the
packaging that originally came with the library.
7 Remove all cords and cables from the rear of the library.
8 Remove all tape cartridges from the library.
Caution: When moving the library: Manufacturer-supplied
packaging, whether original or purchased, is required for
complete or partial de-installations. You must install the
orange robot restraint assembly to protect the robot
against damage. Use the original shipping carton and
packaging materials to further protect your library
equipment during transport.
Caution: When shipping the library: Use the shipping carton,
packaging materials, and the orange robot restraint
assembly that originally came with the library. This will
help protect your library against damage.
