Prerequisites
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.
