Library shipping procedures
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.
When shipping a library module or library, care must be taken to avoid personal injury and damage to the
module or library. The necessary precautions and procedures depend on the library configuration,
distance, and mode of travel. Select the procedure that most closely fits your situation.
