Unpacking the Library

The unpacking instructions vary depending upon whether you
ordered a stand-alone or rack mount library. If you received a
stand-alone library, you should have only one shipping carton.
Refer to the PowerStor L500 Unpacking Instructions, PN 6321102,
included with the library.
If you ordered a rack mount library, you should have two shipping
cartons. The large carton contains the library, and the smaller
carton contains the PowerStor Rack Mount Installation Kit.
Install the rack mount kit in the rack, referring to the PowerStor
Rack Mount Guide, PN 6322617, provided with the rack mount kit.

Open the top of the shipping carton by carefully cutting the
packing tape.

accessories kit.
