B Relocating the library

CAUTION:

HP strongly recommends that an HP authorized service representative relocate a library to another

location.

This appendix explains how to relocate the library. As used in this appendix, the term relocate means

either to ship the library or simply to move it to a nearby location (for example, from one area in a

building to another).

NOTE:

These instructions address relocating a standalone library. To relocate a Cross Linked (CLM) Library,

you must remove the CLM components including the brackets that connect the cabinets together, and

ensure that you have room for the entire system when selecting a new location. Otherwise, treat the

cabinets as if each were a separate library that you are relocating.

The instructions in this appendix are divided into the following:

To ship the library or move it using a motor vehicle (for example, truck, or forklift), follow all of the

instructions in this appendix.
To move the library to a new location within the same building or facility, follow all instructions in this

appendix except for those found in

NOTE:

These procedures require the original packing materials of the library. If you do not have the original

packing materials, contact your support representative.

CAUTION:

Moving or shipping the library without proper packing materials can result in damage to library

components.

Checking the new installation site

Check the new installation site for the library using the guidelines found in the HP StorageWorks ESL

E-Series Pre-Installation Site Survey Instructions. Make sure the new location meets all applicable

clearance, environmental, and power requirements.
