Check the status of the power supply’s LEDs. The two green LEDs

Installing the Library in a Rack
All Scalar i500 libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack. The
rack secures the bottom module, and all other modules are then secured
to the bottom module.
The rackmount kit secures your library within a rack. These instructions
explain how to install your stand-alone library into a rack and how to
install additional modules into an existing rack.
Installing the modules into the rack requires at least two people.
Warning:
Under no circumstances should a rack be moved while
loaded with one or more modules.
Warning:
Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a
control module weighs approximately 58 lbs. An
expansion module, without tape drives, tape cartridges, or
power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs.
To avoid serious injury, at least two people are required to
safely lift the modules into position.
Note:
The rackmount kit cannot be used with every type of rack.
Racks with threaded rails or unique hole spacing, for example,
may not support the rackmount kit.
