Transporting the Library
2-14 StorageTek SL8500 Library Guide
Transporting the Library
There are special considerations to follow when transporting the components of the
library to the installation site. If necessary, you can unpack the library components
from the pallets to move them to the installation site. Follow the unpacking
instructions on the outside packaging material or installation manual. The tables that
follow list the specifications for these components.
Adjustable Jacks
You may need a special jack to assist in unpacking, moving, and positioning the larger
modules. This jack is part of the tool kit, which is required for an installation (see
"Installation Tools" on page 2-12).
Module Components
The DEM and RIM come in two parts: a lower and an upper module. The lower DEM
is the heaviest component of the library. Use care when moving this component.
The CIM is not pre-assembled and must be constructed on-site. Allow 3 m (10 ft) of
space at the end of the box or pallet to unpack these components. A rear section and a
front section, called the Z frame must be attached to the floor of the CIM.
The SEM is not pre-assembled and must be constructed on-site. Allow 3 m (10 ft) of
space at the end of the box or pallet to unpack these components.
