Packaging the Library for Reshipment

If it becomes necessary to reship the library, repackage the library in its
original shipping materials as follows:
Procedure
Unload and eject all tape cartridges from the tape drives.
1
Turn off the library and disconnect all cables.
2
Open the library doors:
3
Using the key in the accessories kit, unlock the front door of the
a
library.
Open the left door first, then open the right door.
b
Remove the load and bulk packs (see figure 19 on page 29):
4
Grip the load pack handles and squeeze them together.
a
This releases the latches securing the load pack.
Still holding the load pack handles, pull the load pack forward
b
and out of the library.
Repeat steps 4a and 4b to remove the bulk pack.
c
Note: In order to install the shipping restraint, the gripper must face
the front of the library.
If the gripper is facing the tape drives, rotate the extension axis so
5
that the gripper faces the front of the library:
Reaching through the library doors, move the gripper
a
backwards (away from the tape drives) and compress it against
its rear limit.
This unlocks the rotary assembly and permits the extension
axis to rotate.
Rotate the extension axis assembly 180° so that the gripper
b
faces the front of the library.
Jiggle the extension assembly slightly to relatch the rotary
c
assembly.
Secure the extension axis assembly:
6
Center the extension axis assembly between the mounting
a
blocks for the load and bulk packs.
Raise the extension axis assembly and place the foam block
b
beneath it.
