Packaging the Library for Moving or Shipping
294 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
8 If the library is in a rack or desktop kit, remove it.
• To remove the library from a rack:
a Remove all the tape drives from the library. Label tape drives
so you know what order to reinstall them later. They must
be reinstalled in the same slots as they were previously.
Unscrew the thumbscrews and pull the tape drive handle to
remove the drive from the library.
b Unscrew the captive thumbscrews on the front of the library
that secure the library to the rack, then slide the library out
of the rack. Place the library on a flat, stable surface.
WARNING: Two people are required to safely remove the
library from the rack.
• To remove the library from a desktop kit, remove the two
screws in the decorative top cover. Remove the decorative top
cover by sliding it toward the back. Loosen the captive
thumbscrews on the library chassis that are attached to the side
panels of the desktop kit. Slide the side panels one inch toward
the rear of the library, then pull the side panels off.
9 Make sure the Y-tray is sitting on the floor of the library as follows:
Look inside the library through one of the magazine openings. If the
Y-tray is not sitting on the floor of the library, reach inside and
gently press down on one of the Y-tray’s metal side rods until the Y-
tray starts moving. It should drift down to rest on the floor of the
library.
10 Reinstall the empty magazines in the library by pushing them in
until they stop.
11 If you removed the tape drives earlier, reinstall them in their proper
slots. Push them carefully into their slots and tighten the captive
thumbscrews.
12 Restrain the Y-tray as follows (see Figure 73 on page 295):
a Turn the library carefully on its side (either the left or right side).
Make sure the front end of the library (the “rack ear”)
overhangs the edge of the table so that the library lies flat.
Caution: Do not turn the library upside down. Do not turn
the library more than 90 degrees from upright.
