Removing Internal Packing and

Inserting Tape Cartridges

Once the library is in the final installation site, you must remove

internal packing materials and install any available tape cartridges as

explained in this section. The following are major steps in this

procedure:

• Removing the left cosmetic panel

• Removing tie-wraps

• Removing foam blocks

• Inserting tape cartridges

• Reinstalling the cosmetic panels

Caution: Make sure the library is at its final installation site before

removing the internal packing materials. Damage to the

equipment may occur if the library is moved without the

internal packing materials in place.

Removing the Left

Cosmetic Panel

To remove the left cosmetic panel:

1 At the back of the library, remove the three screws that secure the

left panel to the library frame (see figure 10).

2 Pull the panel toward the back of the library to disengage the

retention tabs on the left side of the library frame and then take the

panel away from the library frame.

3 Set the left panel and the screws aside.
