Replacing a module
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.
