Moving the library from a rack to a desktop

This procedure is used to relocate a library that is mounted in a rack with the rack mount kit to a
desktop with the deskside kit.
Removing library from a rack
1. Take the library offline.
Note: If the library is processing queued requests, wait for the library to finish the current library
task.
2. From the Web User Interface, select Configure Library > Save/Restore > Save to save the current
library configuration to a file for easy restoration.
3. After your configuration is saved, log out of the Web User Interface and close the Internet browser.
4. From the Operator Panel, select Unlock Magazine, and press Enter to remove the cartridge
magazine or from Web User Interface: Manage Library > Unlock Magazine (if necessary).
Note: If the cartridge magazine fails to unlock in response to the Unlock Magazine command from
the Operator Panel and Web User Interface, you can unlock the magazine manually. See "Unlocking
the cartridge magazine manually" on page 141.
5. From the Operator Panel, select Move to Ship Position, and press Enter. This command moves the
accessor assembly to a safe position ready for moving the library.

the position where it can be secured by the accessor locking screw.
