A RID (Repair Identification) tag maintains the original serial number record and WWN of the library to ensure that your warranty coverage, if applicable, is not interrupted.
The tag is important for customer inventory accuracy. Follow the instructions on the RID tag precisely.

Shipping the library

Select Commands > Move to Ship Position when the library is prepared to move to a new location. The accessor must be placed in a parked position within the library
housing. Move to Ship Position finishes all active commands that are received from the host application, does not process any new commands, and moves the accessor to
the parked position before the power is turned OFF.
1. When Unlock Magazine is displayed, press Enter to unlock the cartridge magazine. The magazine unlocks and the display prompts the removal of the magazine.
2. Remove all cartridges from the magazine and reinsert the magazine into the slide mechanism. The library completes an inventory to verify no cartridges are in the
magazine.
3. If the magazine is empty, the library moves the accessor to the ship position. The library can be powered down. If the magazine is NOT empty, the library prompts
to remove cartridges. After all cartridges are removed and the magazine is replaced, start the ship position process again.
