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
