Securing the Front Door (Without Power)
To secure the front door when no tape library power exists:
1. Remove the robotic facade from the top of the tape library by gently pulling the 
facade from side to side to pull the ball studs away from the clips. You might have 
to use a screwdriver to gently pry it off.
2. While using one hand to move the robotics park lever to the left, use your other 
hand to close the door.
WARNING. Possible injury to finger: Make sure that your finger is completely to the left in the 
next step so that it will not be pinched when the door locking lever extends as shown in the 
lower picture.

Caution. Possible component damage: Note the door locking lever protruding from the top of 
the door. Do not let it hit the robotics park lever when you close the door.
