Remove & Replace Instructions
IMPORTANT: Overland Storage requires that all NEO
Series parts be removed and replaced by an Overland
Storage authorized service provider. Improper installation may
result in damage which voids existing warranties.
This document describes how to remove and replace the
Shuttle Track assembly in a NEO 4000
Overland Storage.
WARNING: The GUI touch screen does not completely
shut off NEO SERIES system power. To reduce the risk
of electric shock or damage, unplug both power cords.
1. If the library is operational:
a. Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or the
application software, remove any cartridges from
the drives to prevent damage.
b. Exit the application software and, if necessary,
stop the software services.
c. Use the GUI to remove all the magazines.
IMPORTANT: If the library is non-operational, the
doors can be manually opened by pushing a stiff
