you are using prior to beginning the procedure.

REPARING

FOR

NSTALLATION

EPLACEMENT

Note:

If your library is installed in a rack, it is not necessary to remove the library from the

rack to complete this procedure. It is also not necessary to disconnect the Ethernet

cable from the back of the library.

Obtain these items—a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver.

Ensure that the environment is free of conditions that could cause electrostatic

discharge (ESD)—If possible, use an antistatic mat and a grounded static protection

wristband during installation. If a mat and wristband are not available, touch a known

grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.

Warning

Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be

sure that the library’s power switch is off and that the power cord is

disconnected from the library and the outlet.

Warnung

Vor der Ausführung von Installations- oder Wartungsarbeiten ist

darauf zu achten, daß der Library-Netzschalter auf “Aus” gestellt ist

und daß das Anschlußkabel vom Library und der Steckdose entfernt

ist.

Advertencia

Antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento de instalación o de

mantenimiento, comprobar que el interruptor de alimentación de la

biblioteca está apagado y que el cable de alimentación no está

enchufado ni a la biblioteca ni a la toma de corriente.
