IMPORTANT
The shipping lock must be removed for the robotics to work properly. A robot move error is displayed if
the shipping lock is not removed. Retain the shipping lock for moving the library or shipping the library.
Not using the shipping lock for library movement may damage the library and will result in a voiding of
the warranty.
HEAVY LIFT WARNING!
When moving the Library, to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the device:
•
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 the installation or removal.
RACK INSTALLATION WARNING
When placing the Library into a rack, to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment:
•
Extend the rack 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.
KEEP YOUR BOXES!
In the event that the library needs to be returned for warranty repair, the unit must be returned in the
original packaging. Units that cannot be returned in the original packaging for any reason must have
prior authorization from TOLIS Group or the RMA will be refused.
