Installing a 5175 Open-Reel Tape Subsystem
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.
5. Position the subsystem pedestal next to your system. See the Floor Plan Diagram
in the Installation Document Checklist. You must position the pedestal:
•
Close enough to the system enclosure to allow the subsystem to be connected
to the PMF CRU or IOMF CRU. Cables range from 10 to 75 feet (3 to 23 m)
long.
•
Within 15 feet (4.6 m) of the power receptacle for the subsystem. You cannot
use a power receptacle already dedicated to a system enclosure.
•
With a service and ventilation clearance of 24 inches (61 cm) at the rear of the
subsystem and 36 inches (92 cm) at the front.
6. Remove the shipping restraints from inside the 5175 module as shown in
Figure 7-3 on page 7-5.
a. Grasp the hand hold at the top of the module back panel and pull the back
panel down. The panel is hinged at the bottom.
b. Remove the shipping restraint (a metal plate) using the instructions on the
plate.
c. With a slotted screwdriver, remove the four slide-retaining screws. The screws
are located in an oval hole about two inches from the rear of the module.
d. Close the back panel, pushing firmly at the top to seat the fasteners.
e. Grasp the sides of the module front panel and pull it off.
f. Remove the shipping restraint (a metal plate) using the instructions on the
plate.
g. Replace the front panel. Push firmly at the top and bottom of the panel to seat
it.
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).
