3. By hand, gently rotate the VAX column counter-clockwise so that the back of the
VAX column is closest to the left side of the library.
Figure 7-8 Rotating the vertical VAX column clockwise.
4. Identify the screw located in the plate between the upper VAX drive belt and the
top of the VAX column, at the top of the library. Note that your unit may have a
label that points out the location of the screw to be removed. This is illustrated
in Figure 7-9. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw, or use the T8
Torx wrench, if available and if a Torx screw is in use. Set aside the screw so
that you can find it later.
After you remove the screw the upper HAX bracket is no longer attached to the
upper HAX belt bracket at the top of the library.

5. Identify the coupler, shown in Figure 7-10. Use a 3/32 Allen wrench to loosen
the four Allen screws on the coupler so that the coupler moves freely. The
coupler attaches the lower HAX rod to the upper HAX rod.
