Installing the library
IMPORTANT:
The shipping lock must be removed for the robotics to operate properly. A robot move error is
displayed if the shipping lock is not removed. See Removing the shipping lock on page 13.
WARNING:
The library weighs up to 15.6 kg (34.3 lb) without media and up to 20.4 kg (44.9 lb) with media (24
cartridges).
When moving the library, to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the library:
• Observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
• Remove all tape cartridges to reduce the overall weight of the library and to prevent cartridges
from falling into the robotic path and damaging the library. Keep the cartridges organized so they
can be returned to the same locations.
• Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the library during installation or removal.
WARNING:
When placing the library into a rack, to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment:
• Extend the rack leveling jacks to the floor.
• Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• Install the rack stabilizer kit on the rack.
• Extend only one rack component at a time. Racks can become unstable if more than one
component is extended.
Preparing the host
IMPORTANT:
Use proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and
anti-static mats when handling internal components.
Procedure
• If you are not the system administrator of the host computer, check with the system administrator
before powering off the computer.
• For a library with FC drives, install an FC HBA or verify that you have sufficient ports available on a
compatible FC switch.
• For a library with SAS drives, if necessary, install a SAS HBA with an external SAS connector that
supports multiple LUNs. Refer to the host computer and HBA documentation for installation
information.
