4Shipping the Tape Drive

You can ship the tape drive with either one drive per carton (single-pack) or with three to five drives per carton (multi-pack). Figure 12 on page 34 shows the single-pack carton and packing materials; Figure 13 on page 35 shows the multi-pack carton and packing materials.

CAUTION

■To avoid damaging the tape drive and voiding your warranty, be sure to use the original shipping materials (or replacement materials obtained from Exabyte) when repacking and shipping the tape drive.

■To ensure that the packaging meets the required specifications, do not modify the packaging in any way. The shipping carton and packing materials are not intended to be used for shipping items other than or in addition to a tape drive.

■Do not use the multi-pack shipping carton for fewer than three tape drives. If you are shipping one or two tape drives, use a single-pack carton for each tape drive.

Table 4 shows the dimensions and weights of the single-pack and multi-pack shipping cartons.
