seated/positioned by ensuring that:
Neither side of a TeraPack is resting on top of a guide rail
TeraPacks are flush with end of guide rails. There are detents molded into
guide rails and bottom of TeraPacks to assist in positioning
oTeraPacks positioned too far into library can result in robotic movement
errors and/or damage to robotics or media
