Removing the shipping lock

Skip this step for the MSL8048 and MSL8096.

The shipping lock prevents the robotic transport mechanism from moving during shipment. You must

remove the shipping lock before powering on the device. The shipping lock is held in place with a

piece of tape and is located in the top center of the device. After the shipping lock is removed, it

should be stored on the back panel of the device for future use.

To remove and store the shipping lock:

1. Locate the tape and lock at the top of the device (see Figure 18 on page 45) .

2. Remove the tape, then remove the lock.

3. Store the lock on the back panel of the device (see Figure 19). The shipping lock storage location

for the MSL4048 is on the back panel, similar to the location on the MSL2024.

be installed in a rack with the supplied rails.
