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 [phone].
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.

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.
