Preparing for the Installation 0

Before you begin the installation procedure in this section, make the

following preparations as described in this section:

•Providing Necessary Tools and Equipment

•Taking ESD Precautions

Providing Necessary

Tools and Equipment 0Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the PX506 and PX510

libraries:

• #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver

• Metal pick included in accessory kit

• Wood dowel included in accessory kit

• #1 flat blade screwdriver

• Allen wrench (2.5mm and 3mm) included in accessory kit

Taking ESD

Precautions 0Some components within the PX506 and PX510 libraries contain static-

sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation

procedures, always observe the following precautions:

• Keep the library turned off during all installation procedures.

• Use an antistatic wrist strap (included in the accessory kit).

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until

ready for installation. Look for the ESD sticker to identify static sensitive

parts.

8 Unpacking the Library

• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside

their protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.

• Avoid touching connectors and other components.

Unpacking the Library 0

This section explains how to unpack both the PX506 and PX510 library

components and move them to their final installation location. By following

these instructions, you help ensure that the system will continue to be

safeguarded after it arrives at the installation site.

Unpack and remove the following components from the packing materials

(see figure 4 for PX506 and figure 5 for PX510):

1Remove the accessories kit and set it aside.

2With the help of a second person, lift the library chassis up and out of the

shipping carton.

3Place the library on a table approximately waist high.

Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower

relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.

Note: Inspect the outer library packaging for damage. If there is any

damage evident on the library packaging, to not continue with the

installation and contact Quantum customer support.

Note: Unpack the library as close to the installation location as possible.

Warning: At least two people are required to move the library

chassis.
