If you are installing this expansion module at the same
time as the base module, follow the instructions in the
getting started guide to install all of the modules at the
same time.
WARNING:
Each library module weighs 20 kg (44 lb) without
media or tape drives and at least 35 kg (77 lb) with
media (40 cartridges) and three tape drives. When
moving the library, to reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to the device:
Observe local health and safety requirements
and guidelines for manual material handling.
Remove all tapes to reduce the overall weight
of the device 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 device during installation or removal.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
equipment:
Extend the 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 might become unstable if more than one
component is extended.
CAUTION:
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Keep parts in electrostatic containers until needed.
Ensure that you are properly grounded when
touching static sensitive components.
