Unpacking the Library
If the temperature in the room where the library is to be installed varies by 15°C
(30°F) or more from the room where the libra
ry was stored, allow the library to
acclimatize to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before
unpacking it from the shipping container.
Do not place the library on either the end or sides as this
may damage the unit.
Before unpacking the library, clear a work surface on
which to place the unpacked components. If
the library is to be installed in a rack, select an open rack location allowing easy access to the host
server and an easily accessible power outlet.
1. Before opening and removing the tape library from the box, inspect the container for
shipping damage. If you notice any damage, report it to the shipping company immediately.
2. Open the box.
3. Carefully remove the shipping materials from the top of
the library.
4. Remove the accessory package and set a
side (if included).
5. Remove the two rack rails and set a
side (if included).
6. Lift the library out of the carton and remove the bag from the loader. Save the packaging
materials for future use.
