When deciding on a location in your rack for the library, remember that the Operator
Panel has a small LCD screen and should be positioned to allow for easy viewing. The
rear of the library should be free from any obstructions to allow easy access to the
power switch and other rear panel components.
Note:
Before beginning the rack installation of the library, read the safety
information in “Rack Safety” on page xv. Also, verify that no feet are attached
to the bottom of the library.
The library requires 1U rack space in an EIA standard sized rack. One unit (1U) of
vertical rack space is equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in), and contains three holes with
equidistant centers of 1.59 cm (0.625 in.). The boundary between each 1U rack space is
identified by two holes separated by only 1.27 cm (0.5 in.).
To install the library in a rack:
1.
Verify that your rack kit includes all the necessary contents. See Table 3-3.
2.
Determine the location in your rack for your library to be installed and, using a
pencil, mark the location on the front vertical rails (Figure 3-5) and rear vertical
rails (Figure 3-6) in your rack.
