5 Moving the library
This section explains how to move or ship the library. To ship the library, or move it using a motor
vehicle (for example, truck, or forklift), follow the instructions in this section. To move the library to a
new location within the same building or facility, follow all instructions in this section except for those
found in “ Repacking the library ” on page 100.
NOTE:
These procedures require the original packaging materials of the library. If you do not have the original
packaging materials, contact your support representative for ordering information.
CAUTION:
Moving or shipping the library without proper packaging materials can result in damage to library
components. HP strongly recommends that an HP authorized service representative move a library to
another location.
