Installing a 5175 Open-Reel Tape Subsystem
3. If you are connecting a new 5175 tape subsystem, unpack the subsystem:
a. Remove any protective covering or packing material from outside the tape
subsystem.
b. Flip open the twist-lock handles at the base of the pallet. Turn the twist-lock
handles counterclockwise to loosen the pallet end piece as shown in
Figure 7-2.
c. Remove the pallet end piece and set it aside, but save the U-bolts or Velcro
straps. These bolts or straps hold the unloading ramp against the pallet.
d. Set the unloading ramp next to the pallet.
e. If you have Velcro straps, use them to fasten the unloading ramp to the pallet.
Otherwise, insert U-bolts in the drilled holes in the pallet and the ramp to
secure the ramp against the pallet, forming an incline for rolling the tape
subsystem off the pallet.
4. Use two people to carefully roll the tape subsystem off the pallet and down the
ramp.
Figure 7-2. Unloading a Tape Subsystem
WARNING. To avoid strain or injury, always use two people to unload and move the tape
subsystem. A 5175 tape module on a pedestal can weigh up to 330 pounds (150 kilograms).
