Exabyte 480, 440 manual Prepare the library for installation

Chapter 2

Step 4 – Prepare the library for installation

Prepare the library as follows:

￿Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a known grounded surface, such as your computer’s metal chassis.

￿Locate an appropriate area for the library. The library must have a level surface near a readily accessible outlet. In addition, there must be approximately 6 inches (15 cm) of open area behind the library for adequate air flow.

￿If you have a rack-mount library, make sure that your rack has extension support legs and that you have at least four people or two people and a small fork lift to lift the library into the rack.

￿If you have a standalone library, access the handles by removing the side panels as described below.

￿Using a flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the captive screws (two on each panel) at the rear of the library.
