• Observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
• Remove all tapes to reduce the overall weight of the device and prevent cartridges from falling
into the robotic path and damaging the Library.
• Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the device during installation or removal.
WARNING!
When placing the Library into or removing the Library from a rack, to reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to equipment:
• Extend the rack's leveling jacks to the floor.
• Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• Install stabilizing feet on the rack.
• Extend only one rack component at a time. Racks may become unstable if more than one component
is extended.
