Unpacking the Base Module and Expansion Modules

Procedure for safely unpacking the Base and Expansion Modules.

About this task

Before any modules are unpacked, clear a work surface near the targeted rack or table for installation.

Attention: If the temperature in the room where the library operates varies by 15° C (30° F) from where the module was stored, allow it to acclimate for at least 12 hours before it is unpacked.
