Installing the Library

Installing the Scalar 50 tape library consists of the following steps
:
•
Installing the Rack Mount Shelves
•
Installing the Library Chassis
•
Cabling the Library
The following table describes the hardware necessary for installing the Scalar 50 in a rack.
These parts are located in the accessory kit.
Warning:
If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT install the Scalar 50
tape library too high in the rack. The weight of the library may cause the
rack to become “top heavy” and unstable if installed in the top of an
empty rack. Begin installing the Scalar 50 tape library from the bottom of
the rack if more than one library is installed.
Note:
If this is an upgrade to an existing library system, see
Multiple Library Stacks
on page 36.
