Packing the Library for Shipment
2
If it becomes necessary to ship the library, you must repack it in its
original shipping materials as explained in this section. The following
are the main steps in this procedure:
• Removing power from the library
• Removing the left cosmetic panel
• Unloading the library
• Installing the internal packing materials
• Replacing the cosmetic panels
• Moving the library onto the shipping pallet
• Securing the library to the pallet
Removing Power from
the Library
2
To remove power from the library:
1 If necessary, unload and eject any tapes in the tape drives.
2 Turn off the library by setting the power switch to the O (off)
position.
3 Disconnect all SCSI cables from the back of the library.
Leave the power cord connected.
Caution:
Do not disconnect the power cord from the library or the
grounded power source until instructed to do so. While
plugged in, the power cord grounds the library chassis and
helps to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Removing the Left
Cosmetic Panel
2
To remove the left cosmetic panel:
1 At the back of the library, remove the three screws that secure the
left side panel to the library frame.
2 Pull the panel toward the back of the library (to disengage the
retention tabs) and then move the panel from the library frame (see
figure 10 on page 12).
Carefully set the left panel aside.
