Repacking instructions

Before the 3592 is repacked for return, transportation, or storage, verify that no tape cartridge is in the

drive. If a cartridge is present, unload it and remove it.

Consider reusing the packaging that was used when you received a drive canister at installation or as a

FRU (as recommended in “Before installation” on page 168). If you cannot locate the original packaging,

you can order a relocation kit. See “3592 EH7/EH8/55E/55F/60F Rack FRU list” on page 259 for the

relocation kit part number.
