Figure 55: Exploded Rack Mount view
Note: Additional items must be considered for installation planning. A standard 42U rack can hold a
maximum of 14 enclosures, but unless necessary, it is best to not install an enclosure in the top or bottom
spaces in the rack. It can be difficult for an operator to load/unload cartridges in those positions, and it
can also be difficult to read the 8-character message display on the front of the drive.
1. Position the enclosure by allocating 3 EIA units anywhere in the rack.
2. Install left and right rails (
1
) by using eight M6-10 Flat Head screws (
2
). Use the top and bottom
holes on the front and rear rail mounts.
Note: The center hole in the front is used for securing the enclosure after the rails are installed in the
frame. See Step 3 and Figure 56 on page 171. The location tab
10
shows the center hole position in
the rear. See Figure 57 on page 171.
Note the "L" on the rail in the first graphic, showing that the left rail is being installed.
