Installing the Safety Blanking Panels

Installing the Safety Blanking Panels

0

To avoid personal injury or damage to the StackLink mechanism, 

install safety blanking panels over all empty locations in the M1500 

stack.

1

If the holes in the rack rails are square (untapped), insert caged 

nuts into the holes where the front safety blanking panels will be 

installed.

2

Install front safety blanking panels (212579) at the front of the rack, 

securing each panel with two screws (YS41803) and washers 

(YS40404).

3

Install rear safety blanking panels (212502) at the rear of the rack, 

securing each panel with two screws (YS40095).

Cabling the Library

0

The library cabling procedure consists of the following steps:
• Interlibrary (control bus) cabling
• StackLink motor connection
• SCSI bus cabling
• Power cabling
