Unpacking the shipping container

Before you begin, clear a level work surface near where you will place the Library.
CAUTION:
If the temperature in the room where the device will be installed varies by 15º C (30º F) from the room
where it was stored, allow it to acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before
unpacking it from the shipping container.
Unpacking the Tape Library:
1. Inspect the container for shipping damage. If you notice any damage, report it to the shipping
company immediately.
2. Open the shipping container and remove the packaging foam and accessories that cover the
device.

CAUTION:
Do not place the Library on either end or its sides as this may damage it.

future use.
