6Moving the library
This section explains how to move or ship the Enterprise Modular Library (EML) E-Series. These
instructions are divided into the following topics:
• Checking the new installation site, page 97
• Preparing the library for a short move, page 97
• Preparing the library for long-distance relocation, page 98
• Repacking the library, page 98
• Preparing the library for operation, page 99
To ship the library or move it using a motor vehicle (for example, truck, or forklift), follow the instructions
in this section.
To move the library to a new location within the same building or facility, follow all instructions in this
section except for those found in ”Repacking the library” on page 98.
NOTE: These procedures require the original packing materials of the library. If you do not have the
original packing materials, contact your support representative for ordering information.
CAUTION: Moving or shipping the library without proper packing materials can result in damage to
library components. HP strongly recommends that an HP authorized service representative move a
library to another location.
Checking the new installation site
Check the new installation site for the library using the guidelines found in ”Selecting an installation
location” on page 31. Verify that the new location meets all applicable clearance, environmental, and
power requirements.
Preparing the library for a short move
1. Empty cartridges from the tape drives.
2. At a minimum, attach the robot shipping straps (see Figure 35 on page 50). For added protection,
also install the spring clip to prevent movement of the reduction gear.
3. Roll the library carefully on level surfaces to its destination.
