Installing the Slide Assembly in the Rack
If you are installing a rack-mount library, install the slide assembly in
the rack before proceeding to “Removing the Library from the Pallet”
on page 22.
This procedure consists of the following steps:
‡ verifying that the rack meets the necessary requirements
‡ determining the mounting position of the slide assembly within
the rack
‡ mounting the slide assembly in the rack
‡ adjusting the slide assembly to allow for required clearances
Warning: Use safe lifting practices when moving the slide assembly
or the library. Th e slide assembly weighs about 25 lbs
(1 1.25 kg) and its size and construction mak e it awkwar d to
handle. The library weighs 89 lbs (40 kg); it must be lifted
with assistance. Failure to follow these guidelines may
result in equipment damage or personal injury.
8
Verifying the Rack Requirements
Warning: When installing the library and other devices in the rack,
determine the weight of each device and position the
heaviest devices lower in the rack. If the library is the first
device to be installed, place it near the bottom of the rack.
Before installing the slide assembly in the rack, verify that the rack
8
meets the following requirements.
Rack Current Rating Consideration
8
Consider the current rating of the rack before instal ling more than one
P1000 library. The P1000 library is rated 6A/3A (120V/230V). This
means that no more than two libraries can be installed in a typical
15A/120V rack.
If other equipment is installed in the rack, determine the total current
rating of all the equipment before adding the P1000 library to the rack.

Packaging the Library for Reshipment
If it becomes necessary to reshi p the library, repackage the library in its
original shipping materials as follows:
Procedure
1
Unload and eject all tape cartridges from the tape drives.
2
Turn off the library and disconnect all cables.
3
Open the library doors:
a
Using the key in the accessories ki t, unlock the fr ont door of the
library .
b
Open the left door first, then open the right door.
4
Remove the load and bulk packs (see figure 19 on page 29):
a
Grip the load pack handles and squeeze them together.
This releases the latches securing the load pack.
b
Still holding the load pack handles, pull the load pack forward
and out of the library.
20
c
Repeat steps 4a and 4b to remove the bulk pack.
Note: In order to install the shipping restraint, the gripper must face
the front of the library.
5
If the gripper is facing the tape drives, rotate the extension axis so
that the gripper faces the front of the library:
a
Reaching through the library doors, move the gripper
backwards (away from t he tape drives) and compress it against
its rear limit.
This unlocks the rotary assembly and permits the extension
axis to rotate.
b
Rotate the extension axis assembly 180° so that the gripper
faces the front of the library.
c
Jiggle the extension assembly slightly to relatch the rotary
assembly.
6
Secure the extension axis assembly:
a
Center the extension axis assembly between the mounting
blocks for the load and bulk packs.
b
Raise the extension axis assembly and place the foam block
beneath it.
