Preparing the Library for Moving or Shipping
This chapter describes how to add, remove, and replace hardware within your library. Adding, removing, or replacing library
components may require you to power off the entire library. There are a few components, however, that you can service
without powering off the library, such as replacing tape drives. Instead, you may only need to take a specific partition offline,
or you may not need to impact the status of the library at all.
Warning:
All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack having a main protective earthing
(grounding) terminal, and power must be supplied via an industrial plug and socket-outlet and/or an
appliance coupler complying with IEC 60309 (or an equivalent national standard) and having a protective
earth (ground) conductor with a cross sectional area of at least 1.5 mm 2 (14 AWG).
To ensure proper airflow and access space, Allow 60 cm (24 inches) in the front and back of the library.
Warning:
Under no circumstances should a rack be moved while loaded with one or more modules.
Warning:
Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a 5U Library Control Module weighs
approximately 60 lbs (27.2 kg). A 9U Library Expansion Module, without tape drives, tape cartridges, or
power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
To avoid serious injury, at least two people are required to safely lift the modules.
Caution:
ML6030 (and higher) CM and Expansion Modules require professional installation. Professional installation
may have been included with your purchase. Please call 1 800 945 3355 to schedule professional installation of your
PowerVault library.
Taking the Library Online/Offline
An online library allows a host application to fully control library operations. Taking a library offline switches library control to
the user interfaces and limits host application command requests.
