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

stabilize the device during installation or

removal.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal

injury or damage to equipment:

• Extend the leveling jacks to the floor.

• Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests

on the leveling jacks.

racks together.

Racks might become unstable if more than

one component is extended.
