Unpacking the shipping containers
Prerequisites
Before unpacking any modules, clear a level work surface near where you will install the modules.
CAUTION: If the temperature in the room where the module will be installed varies by 15º C (30º F)
from the room where it was stored, allow the module to acclimate to the surrounding environment for at
least 12 hours before unpacking it from the shipping container.
NOTE: If you are installing a library with multiple modules and have limited work space, locate and unpack
the base module first, along with the rack shelves and accessory kits for all of the expansion modules.
Procedure
1. Before opening and removing a module from the box, inspect the container for shipping damage.
If you notice any damage, report it to the shipping company immediately.
2. Unpack the module and accessories from the box, one layer at a time. Place the module on a work table.
3. Remove the protective foam insert from the base module. This step does not apply to expansion modules.
The robotics is protected during shipment by a foam insert that must be removed before installation.
IMPORTANT: To avoid personal injury or damage to the module, always support the bottom of the
module where the rack shelf contacts the module. Do not touch internal mechanical or electrical
components while moving the module.
a. Use two small screwdrivers to unlock the top cover.
b. Lift the cover front end by about 12 cm and pull gently forward to disengage from the pivot point at the
module center.
c. Remove the foam insert.
4. If you are installing a base module only without an expansion module or the base module will be the top
module in the library, replace the top cover on the base module.
