Moving or Shipping the Library
WARNING Do not move the library without additional help or an
appropriately rated lift device. Model 2/20 weighs 90 pounds
(40.9 kilograms). Model 4/40 weighs 165 pounds (76.4 kilograms).
Model 6/60 weighs 229 pounds (104.1 kilograms). Model 6/140
weighs 850 pounds (385.48 kilograms).
NOTE During normal operation, changes to configurations are stored in
Non-Volatile (NV) RAM for eight days. All configuration settings can be
permanently saved to flash memory by power cycling the library. This
allows the settings to be recovered if the library is unplugged for more
than eight days. If this step is not completed and the library is unplugged
for more than eight days, any new settings may be lost. Before shipping
the library, verify that the configuration settings were saved
permanently by first powering down the library, and then powering back
up to restore and view the settings.
To move or ship the library:
1. Verify that all drives are empty.
2. If a drive contains a tape, unload it. Refer to the backup software
documentation, use the front panel menu (see “Unloading a Tape
from the Drive” on page 3-14), or the remote management card (see
“Configuring the Remote Management Card” on page 4-10).
3. If shipping the library, remove tape cartridges from the magazine.
See “Magazine Access” on page 3-8.
4. Lock the transport if you are shipping the library (see “Running
Service Diagnostic Tests” on page 4-33).
CAUTION Do not power off the library until the interface is inactive. Removing
power from a SCSI or Fibre Channel peripheral when the bus is active
can result in data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. If the computer
is connected to a LAN, be sure to check with the system administrator
before powering off the library.
