Installation
Setting up the Rackmount Model
Setting up the rackmount model requires a template, rack enclosure slide rails, and a
mechanical lift to physically install the library in a rack enclosure.
To setup the rackmount model:
1. Use the template that shipped with the library to mark the location of the
mounting hardware on the mounting rails of the rack enclosure (see Figure 2–2).
The black dots along the sides of the template indicate the top of a U.
Figure 2–3: Library template (9000 rack enclosure shown)
NOTE:
For HP rack system/e and AlphaServer H9A rack enclosures, refer to the
appropriate rack rail adapter kit.
2. Remove the template and then attach the rails using the supplied fasteners (see
Figure 2–3). The front rail brackets are threaded to directly accept screws. The
rear brackets are not threaded and require cage/clip nuts in the rack enclosure rear
vertical rails.
NOTE:
Refer to the
Compaq Rack Products Reference Guide for detailed cage nut
installation instructions on 7000/9000/10000 racks.
IMPORTANT:
Fully tighten the front rail screws. Leave the rear rail screws “finger tight” to
prevent binding when mounting the library.
