5.2.1
Cautions
Check the following points before rack mounting the RLS.
•
When installing the library, keep cables and other obstructions away from the area
around the fans on the rear of the library and the ventilation slots on the front of
the library.
•
When the library is mounted in a rack, the balance of the rack could be affected and
the rack could tip over. To prevent this from happening, we recommend securing
the rack with brackets that are designed to keep it from tipping over.
•
Confirm that the correct AC power is supplied within the rack and its outlet is
properly grounded.
5.2.2
Preparing the Library for Rack Mount Installation
There are three pieces to each rack rail and these will first be attached to the rack
before the RLS is installed in the rack.

5.2.3.2
Preparing the Rack
Each rack rail assembly has both a long and short mounting bracket that needs to be
adjusted to match the distance between the front and rear rack posts.
5.2.3.3
Mounting the Rack Rail Assemblies on the Rack
1.
Decide where the rack rails are to be mounted. We recommend marking the
position where each rack rail assembly bracket is to be mounted. To optimize the
spacing in the rack, it is recommended to select a “1U” increment on the racks
hole pattern as the starting point. Some racks will have the increments marked,
otherwise the start and stop location of a single rack unit can be determined by
locating the .50” (12.7mm) spaces between mounting holes as seen in Figure 5-1.
