because of some existing condition. A caution notice can be accompanied by one of
several symbols:
A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is
potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people. A
lightning bolt symbol always accompanies a danger notice
to represent a dangerous electrical condition
If the symbol is… It means…
A hazardous electrical condition with less severity than
electrical danger.
A generally hazardous condition not represented by other
safety symbols.
A hazardous condition due to the use of a laser in the

Laser Safety and Compliance
Before using the library, review the following laser safety information.
Class I Laser Product
The library may contain a laser assembly that complies with the performance
standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Class I laser product.
Class I laser products do not emit hazardous laser radiation. The library has the
necessary protective housing and scanning safeguards to ensure that laser radiation is
inaccessible during operation or is within Class I limits. External safety agencies have
reviewed the library and have obtained approvals to the latest standards as they
apply.
Performing the Safety Inspection Procedure
Before you service the unit, perform the following safety inspection procedure:
1. Stop all activity between the host and the library’s tape drive.
2. Turn off the power to the library by switching the Power button on the rear of the
tape library to the Off position.
3. Disconnect the tape drive’s SAS cable.
4. Unplug the library’s power cord from the electrical outlet and the library’s power
supply unit.
5. Check the library’s power cords for damage, such as a pinched, cut, or frayed
cord.
6. Check the tape drive’s SAS cable for damage.
7. Check the cover of the library for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose
its internal parts.
8. Check the cover of the library for proper fit. It should be in place and secure.
9. Check the product label at the rear of the library to make sure it matches the
voltage at your outlet.
A hazardous condition due to the weight of the unit. Weight
symbols are accompanied by an approximation of the
product’s weight.
If the symbol is… It means…
18-32 kg (39.7-70.5 lbs)

Safety and Environmental Notices xv
Rack Safety
The following general safety information should be used for all rack mounted
devices.
DANGER
CAUTION:
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will
exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all your rack
mounted devices.
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air
flow is not blocked or reduced on any side of the unit.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring
or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack,
refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the
total power requirement of the supply circuit.
•(For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack
stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one
drawer at a time. The rack may become unstable if you pull out more than one
drawer at a time.
•(For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and should not be moved for
servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer
partially or completely out of the rack may cause the rack to become unstable or
cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
(R001)
• Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
• Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
• To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always
install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install
servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
• Rack mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or work space. Do not place
any object on top of rack mounted devices.
• Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect
all power cords in the rack cabinet before servicing any device in the rack
cabinet.
• Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the
same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack
cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.
• An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on
the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack
stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate
a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:
• Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top
of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration
of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you
must do the following:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack
cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack
cabinet below the 32U level.
• If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the
rack cabinet from the suite.
• Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
• Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack
cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the
weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
• Verify that all door openings are at least 762 x 2032 mm (30 x 80 in.).
• Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
• Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
• Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during
movement.
• Do not use a ramp inclined at more than ten degrees.
• Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet
from the lowest position to the highest position.
• If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the
original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to raise
the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

To avoid electrical shock, a power cord with a grounded attachment plug has been
provided. Use only properly grounded outlets.
All power cords use an appliance coupler that complies with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 320, Sheet C13.
If the power cord that you receive does not match your receptacle, contact your local
dealer.
Power cords used in the United States and Canada are listed by Underwriter’s
Laboratories (UL), are certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and
comply with the plug standards of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association
(NEMA).
