Installation
3. Install the two slide-on clip nuts
1
, (previously marked using the template, two
holes above the top bracket screw holes) on each of the front rack enclosure
vertical rails (Figure 2-4).
WARNING: Two people should perform the next step. Make certain, when the
library is fully extended, that a force of 20% of the rack enclosure’s weight, but
not more than 57 pounds (26 kg), applied in any direction other than upwards,
does not cause the rack enclosure to overbalance.
4. Using two people, lift the library and visually align the inner and intermediate
slide rails.
CAUTION:
The library is heavier toward the tape drive end (rear).
5. Carefully insert the library’s inner slide rails
3
into the extended intermediate
slide rails
2
(see Figure 2–4).
6. Slide the library into the rack enclosure until the rail locks are engaged.
WARNING: A rack enclosure might become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason. Extend only one component at a time.
7. Push in on the rail locks to release the library and slide the library completely into
the rack enclosure.
8. Fully tighten the rear rail screws.
