This document explains how to repack the Quantum PX502 library. Follow

these instructions carefully to ensure the library is shipped properly.

Note: All PX500 Series documentation is located on the PX500 Series

Documentation CD included in the library accessory kit.

Caution: This procedure requires the packing materials originally sent

with the library for proper shipment. If you do not have the

library packing materials, contact Quantum customer support

for replacement packaging (800) 284-5101.

This procedure consists of the following steps:

•Removing the Library from the Rack

•Installing the Internal Shipping Restraints

•Packing the Library for Shipment

Removing the Library from the Rack 0

To remove the PX502 library from the rack:

Note: You must remove all tape cartridges from the library prior to

parking the library robotics for shipment.

1Using the OCP, open the front doors, remove both tape cartridge

magazines, and remove any tape cartridges from the fixed bins or

FlexLink™ (refer to the Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide PN 81-81290

for information on OCP operation and bin locations).

After removing the tape cartridge magazines and closing the doors, the

library inventories all possible tape cartridge locations (magazines, fixed

slots, Flexlink, and tape drives). This process takes several minutes.

2From the Library Operations screen on the OCP, select Park for Shipping.

The library shuts down automatically.

Note: If there are tape cartridges in the library, the system will NOT

park the library robotics. You must remove all tape cartridges

from the system prior to parking the library robotics.

6 Installing the Internal Shipping Restraints

Installing the Internal Shipping Restraints 0

To ensure that the internal robotics within the library is not damaged, you

must install the internal shipping restraints on the robotics.

Caution: Failure to install the shipping restraints on the robotics may

void your warranty.

To install the internal shipping restraints:

1Place the library on a flat surface and remove the twelve PHILLIPS screws

securing the FlexLink™ cover and top cover plate to the library chassis

(see figure 2):

Note: If the bottom FlexLink cover has been removed, replace it

before shipping the library back to Quantum.
