IBM TS4300 User Manual page 212

Important: Under normal circumstances, when the library is powered off by using the front Power, the
robot automatically parks and locks into the Base Module behind the Operator Panel. If you are given a
choice during the power down procedure, choose the default park position. To protect the spooling cable
or other sensitive parts, the accessor must be in the Base Module before any drives are removed from the
library.
To move a module within a rack or into a different rack:
1. Save the library configuration.
2. Remove the tape cartridges from the tape drives and magazines, and power off the library.
3. Disconnect the power cords and cables, and unlock the alignment mechanisms.
Attention: Failure to disconnect all cables can result to damage to the cable or the mating
electronic assembly in the library.
4. Remove the modules from the rack.
5. Remove the rack rails from the rack.
6. Verify that the destination rack is level side to side and front to back.
7. Install the rack rails in the destination rack.
8. Install the modules in the rack.
9. Replace the cables and lock the alignment mechanisms.
10. Connect the power cords, power on the library, and verify the operation.
11. Replace the tape cartridges.
