Unpacking the new chassis
Unpack the new chassis and place it on a sturdy table. Save the packaging materials to return the
old chassis.
Replacing the base chassis
CAUTION: Lift the chassis from the side edges. Lifting the chassis from the magazine openings
can damage the chassis.
To replace the library components and install the base chassis in the rack or in the tabletop
conversion cover:
1. The shipping lock on the MSL2024 and MSL4048 prevents the robotic transport mechanism
from moving during shipment. You must remove the shipping lock before powering on the
device. The shipping lock is held in place with a piece of tape and is located in the top center
of the new chassis. After the shipping lock is removed, it should be stored on the back panel
of the chassis for future use.
To remove and store the shipping lock:
a. Locate the tape and lock at the top of the chassis (see Figure 147 (page 214)).
Figure 147 Shipping lock location
b. Remove the tape, then remove the lock.
c. Store the lock on the back panel of the device (see Figure 148 (page 214)).
