1. Stop all activities between the host and the library's tape drives.
2. Turn off the power to the library by pushing in the Power button on the rear of the tape library for 4
seconds.
3. If the drives are SCSI attached, disconnect the SCSI cable and check the SCSI bus terminator for
damage.
4. Unplug the library's power cord from the electrical outlet and the library's power supply unit.
5. Check the library's power cords for damage, such as a pinched, cut, or frayed cord.
6. If drives are SCSI attached, check the tape drive's SCSI bus (signal) cable for damage.
7. If drives are FC/SAS attached, check the tape drive's FC/SAS cable for damage.
8. Check the cover of the library for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose its internal parts.

Rack safety

The following general safety information must be used for all rack mounted devices.
DANGER
v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v To avoid hazardous conditions because of uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices, starting from the
bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Rack mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or workspace. Do not place any object on top of
rack mounted devices.
v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the
rack cabinet before you service any device in the rack cabinet.
v Connect all devices that are installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device that is installed in one rack cabinet into a power
device that is installed in a different rack cabinet.
v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired might place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the
system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that
the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
