If your library is currently rack mounted, foot pads must be installed on the
bottom of the library chassis before the library can be used as a desktop unit. If
your library is currently being used as a desktop unit, foot pads will be installed
on the bottom of the library. Foot pads must be removed before the library can be
installed in a rack.

To remove the library foot pads:
1. Place the sling that was shipped with your library underneath the library
halfway between the front and back feet. Ensure that both sling handles are an
equal distance from the sides of the library. Use of the sling is strongly
recommended for a 9U module. A 5U module is much lighter in weight, and it
may not be necessary to use the sling.
2. Being very careful, lay the library on its side.
3. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the foot pads attached to the bottom of
the library. Store these parts for future use.
4. Carefully return the library to an upright position on top of the sling.
For a desktop installation, foot pads must be installed on the bottom module of
your library. To install the library foot pads:
1. Being very careful, lay the module on its side.
