Preparing The Existing Library For Upgrade; Removing The Side Panels - HP A5585A - SureStore DLT E Tape Library 4/40 Upgrade Kit

Preparing the Existing Library for Upgrade

To upgrade the library, you must:
• Power off the library
• Remove the side panels (cabinet and library)
• Remove the forehead
• Remove the top cover
• Remove the silver labels

Removing the Side Panels

1. Power off and unplug the library.
2. Extend the anti-tip rails, which are located at the bottom of the
library cabinet. After extending these rails, lower the leveler feet to
keep the library cabinet from moving when you are servicing it.
3. Use a 3/16 Allen wrench to remove the side panels from the cabinet
by following these steps (see Figure 4-2 on page 4-4):
a. Loosen the four captive fasteners that secure each side panel to
the cabinet. Hold the panel in place when removing the last screw.
b. Support the panel to lift it slightly up then lower it down.
c. Remove the other side panel using the same procedure.
4. Remove the filler panel(s) from the top of the library by pulling it
straight out.
