Moving or Shipping the Library

WARNING Do not move the library without additional help or an

appropriately rated lift device. The 20-slot weighs 40.9 kilograms

(90 pounds). The 40-slot weighs 76.4 kilograms (165 pounds). The

60-slot weighs 104.1 kilograms (229 pounds).

NOTE During normal operation, changes to configurations are stored in Non-

Volatile (NV) RAM for eight days. All configuration settings can be

permanently saved to flash memory by power cycling the library. This

allows the settings to be recovered if the library is unplugged for more

than eight days. If this step is not completed and the library is unplugged

for more than eight days, any new setings may be lost. Before shipping the

library, verify that the configuration settings were saved permanently by

first powering down the library, and then powering back up to store the

settings and to view them.

To move or ship the library:

1. Verify that all drives are empty.

2. If a drive contains a tape, unload it. Refer to the backup software

documentation, use the remote management card (page 3-9), or use

the front panel menu as follows:

a. From the

Drive and Tape Operations menu, select Unload Tape from

Drive

b. Use the

[-] or [+] keys to select the drive you want to unload.

c. Select

[Unload] to move the tape from the drive to the tape’s

original location (the slot it occupied before being loaded into the

drive). If that slot is occupied, you will be asked to select another

slot location.

The tape automatically rewinds before it is unloaded. A status

screen displays the library’s progress as the tape is relocated.

d. From the

Drive and Tape Operations menu, select [Back] to return to

the

Operations menu.
