Unpacking the shipping container
CAUTION: If the temperature in the room where the library will be installed varies 15ºC (30ºF)
from the room where it was stored, allow it to acclimate to the surrounding environment for at
least 12 hours before unpacking it from the shipping container.
Unpacking the library:
1. Clear a level work surface near where you will place the library.
2. Inspect the container for shipping damage. If you notice any damage, report it to the shipping
company immediately.
3. Remove the packaging, accessories, and library from the box one layer at a time.
4. Place the library on a level work surface.
CAUTION: Do not place the library on either end or its sides as this might damage it.
5. Carefully remove the foam padding and then the bag from the library.
6. Save the packaging materials to move or ship the library in the future.
7. Verify that you received the following components:
• Tape library
• Ethernet cable
• Two rack rails with packets of rack hardware
8. Verify that you have the necessary cables.
• For a library with FC drives, you must provide an FC cable for each FC port you plan
to use. See “Cable requirements” (page 23).
• For a library with SAS drives, you must provide a SAS cable with the correct connector
for your HBA. See “Cable requirements” (page 24).
• To use the RMI, you must provide an Ethernet cable.
Removing the shipping lock
Skip this step for the MSL8048 and MSL8096.
The shipping lock prevents the robotic transport mechanism from moving during shipment. You
must remove the shipping lock before powering on the library. The shipping lock is held in place
with a piece of tape and is located in the top center of the library. After removing the shipping
lock, store it on the back panel of the library for future use.
To remove and store the shipping lock:
