Safety Precautions
Because the tape library weighs approximately 100 pounds (45 kilograms), the
following safety precautions must be taken when mounting the tape library:
• Fully extend the rack’s antitip rail and lower the leveller feet.
• Mount the tape library no higher than 4 feet (122 centimeters) in the rack.
• IMPORTANT: At least two people must lift the library during installation.
WARNING Do not pull the library out of the rack to its fully extended position unless the
anti-tip rail on the bottom of the rack has been positioned correctly. Do not
attempt to move the tape library by yourself.
The tape library weighs approximately 100 pounds (45 kilograms). Pulling the
library out of the rack without the rack’s anti-tip rail extended could result in
personal injury and/or damage to the tape library if the rack tips over.
