Electrostatic Discharge Information

A discharge of static electricity can damage micro-circuitry
or static-sensitive devices. To help prevent Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD), observe standard ESD precautions.
5. Also, to reduce weight, we recommend removing the
drive assemblies.
WARNING: To prevent injury, it is recommended
that a mechanical lifter (or at least two people) be
used during rack installation or removal.
6. Using a mechanical lifter (or two people), remove the
unit from the rack and place it on a secure ESD
surface.

Remove Top Covers

1. Remove and retain the two screws securing the front
top cover.
2. Lift and remove the front top cover, and set aside.
3. If replacing the rear Z-Axis assembly, also remove the
fan cover assembly at the top rear:
a. Remove and retain the 11 screws that secure the
fan cover assembly to the library chassis.
b. Carefully lift the inside edge of the fan cover
assembly and disconnect the cooling fan connector.
CAUTION: Lifting the cover too far can cause a
strain on the cables possibly damaging them or
their connectors.
