Rack Mounting the Library
The library easily installs into a standard 19-inch rack taking up 2U (7 inches) of space.
Warning:
The Spectra T24 library is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to the library:
• Obtain adequate assistance to lift the library and stabilize the
rack during installation or removal.
• Remove all tapes before moving the library to reduce the
overall weight of the library.
To install the library in a rack:
1.
Locate the screws for your rack type
2.
Use a #3 Phillips screwdriver to secure one rail to each side of the rack.
Secure both the front and back of each rail to the rack. The rails extend to fit a
variety of rack depths. The correct orientation of the rails is shown in Figure 3-1.
3.
After installing the rails, slide the library onto the rails.
4.
Use a #3 Phillips screwdriver placed through the small holes in the mounting
bracket to tighten the captive screws on each side of the library (Figure 3-2).
