WARNING! Each library module weighs 41

kg (90 lb) without media or tape drives and

71.4 kg (157.4 lb) with media (80 cartridges)

and six tape drives. When moving the library,

to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage

to the device:

• Observe local health and safety

requirements and guidelines for manual

material handling.

• Remove all tapes to reduce the overall

weight of the device and to prevent

cartridges from falling into the robotic path

and damaging the library. Keep the

cartridges organized so they can be

returned to the same locations.

• Obtain adequate assistance to lift and

stabilize the device during installation or

removal.

WARNING! When replacing a module in the

rack, to reduce the risk of personal injury or

damage to equipment:

• Extend the rack leveling jacks to the floor.

• Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests

on the leveling jacks.

• Install the rack stabilizer kit on the rack.

• Extend only one rack component at a time.

Racks may become unstable if more than

one component is extended.

CAUTION: Parts can be damaged by

electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in

electrostatic containers until needed. Ensure you

are properly grounded when touching static

sensitive components.
