Unpacking and Preparing the Replacement Library Enclosure

Before installing the replacement library enclosure, it is important to verify that the enclosure is functioning properly.

1.Unpack the replacement library enclosure and place it on a sturdy and clean work surface near the defective library. Save all packaging materials for returning the failing part(s) to Dell.

2.Choose one of the options below for installing the foot pads.

Important: Operating your library on a flat surface without foot pads may damage your library or cause it not to function properly.

a.For a rack mounted library:

1)Lift the replacement library enclosure slightly above the work surface, have another person place a foot pad under each corner of the library and on each side of the library halfway between the front and back.

2)Gently set the replacement library enclosure on top of the feet. Adjust foot pad placement as necessary to stabilize the library. It is not necessary to permanently attach the foot pads to the library.

b.For a desktop library:

1)Carefully, lay the library on its side.

2)Peel the adhesive from the back of each of the six foot pads.

3)Install the foot pads on the bottom of the library enclosure by pressing

each foot into one of the six areas ( ) as shown in Figure 10-13 on page 10-13.
