f. If the studs do not reach the mounting holes, pull the front of the shelf toward you to extend it
to the necessary length. Hold the base of the shelf with one hand, and pull the extensible part
of the shelf with your other hand.
g. Insert the shelf’s front studs into the rack’s front mounting holes.
h. Fasten a thumbnut to the end of each stud. Secure the rack tightly, so that the ferrule fits snugly
within the hole in the rack.
4 Visually make sure that both shelves are level, and that they are aligned properly within the rack.
5 Make sure that all thumbnuts are fastened tightly. Some thumbnuts may have loosened during
installation.
Preparing Your Library for Rack Installation
1 Power off your library and disconnect all power cords, network data cables, and module-to-module
cables.
2 Remove all tape drives from the library modules. The modules are much easier to lift into the rack
without the additional weight of the tape drives.
Installing Modules in the Rack
Required parts: Rack ears, M5 thumbscrews
1 Place the desired module (whichever module you want to be the bottom module of the library) onto the
rack-mount shelves. From the front of the rack, lift the module onto the shelf and gently slide it into the
rack. Slide the module to the back of the rack, so that the front of the module is flush with the mounting
holes.
2 From the back of the rack, secure the module to the rack-mount shelves by tightening the two silver
thumbscrews that are attached to the rear of the rack-mount shelves.
Note
Extending the shelves can be difficult, but they are designed to be resized
by hand. Do not use tools to resize the shelves, and never take them apart.
