Before beginning installation, verify the contents of the rackmount kit
(see
Table 8
) and the rack ear kit (see
Table 9
).
• You only need one rackmount kit per library. The rackmount kit
allows you to secure the bottom module in the rack. It includes
rack ears for additional security.
• You need one rack ear kit for each additional module. Each rack
ear kit contains the supplies to install right and left rack ears on
one module.
• You must install one set of rack ears for each module in the rack.
