NOTE Getting Started Moving or Shipping the Library During normal operation, changes to configurations are stored in NonVolatile (NV) RAM for eight days. All configuration settings can be permanently saved to flash memory by power cycling the library. This allows the settings to be recovered if the library is unplugged for more than eight days. If this step is not completed and the library is unplugged for more than eight days, any new settings may be lost. Before shipping the library, verify that the configuration settings were saved permanently by first powering down the library, and then powering back up to store the settings and to view them. To move or ship the library: 1. Verify that all drives are empty. 2. If a drive contains a tape, unload it. Refer to the backup software documentation, or use the front panel menu as follows: a.

Select [Unload] to move the tape from the drive to the tape's original location (the slot it occupied before being loaded into the drive). If that slot is occupied, you will be asked to select another slot location. The tape automatically rewinds before it is unloaded.
