Moving or Shipping the Jukebox

If you want to move the jukebox a short distance, such as to another office or to

another floor in your building, see “Moving the Jukebox a Short Distance.” If you

want to ship the jukebox to another location, see “Shipping the Jukebox.”

Moving the Jukebox a Short Distance

1. If you will be removing the disks from the jukebox, follow your jukebox

application software instructions for unmounting, ejecting, and labeling disks to

ensure that the jukebox can be brought online again easily.

Ensure that there are no disks in the drives.

CAUTION Failure to eject a disk from the optical drive prior to moving the jukebox could result

in damage to the optical drive mechanism.

If you will be manually ejecting disks, refer to “Ejecting an Optical Disk from

the Jukebox” in Chapter 3.

CAUTION Turning off the jukebox in the next step could cause data loss if not done correctly.

Do not turn off power to the jukebox until you are sure the SCSI bus is inactive.

Removing power from a SCSI device when the bus is active can result in data loss

and/or indeterminate bus states. Check your host system manuals for information

about checking the SCSI bus status. If your computer is connected to a LAN, be sure

to check with your system administrator before turning off power to the jukebox

2. Switch jukebox power OFF (see “3” on Figure 1-1).

3. Lift off the left side panel and remove the power cord and the SCSI cable

connections.

4. Loosen the 1/2-inch nut securing each of the four leveler feet and screw the feet

up to raise them away from the floor.

5. Carefully move the jukebox to its new destination.

6. Set up the jukebox at its new location. Refer to the cabling and addressing

information in the beginning of this chapter if necessary.

7. Lower the leveler feet and tighten the 1/2-inch nut on each foot.

8. Bring the jukebox online according to your system’s requirements.
