Moving or Shipping the Library

WARNING

Do not move the library without additional help or an

 

appropriately rated lift device. The 2/20 series library weighs

 

40 kg (87 lb). The 4/40 series library weighs 75 kg (165 lb).

 

The 6/60 series library weighs 104 kg (249 lb). The 8/80 and

 

10/100 series libraries weigh approximately 227 kg (500 lb).

 

 

 

 

Caution

To avoid damage to the library, ensure that it is in an upright

 

position at all times. Never place the library on its sides.

 

 

 

 

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 settings 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. If a drive contains a tape, unload it. Refer to the backup software documentation, use the remote management card (see page 96), 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.
