Rackmounting the Library

WARNING

Before you begin, lower the rack’s leveler feet with the open-

ended wrench, and extend the rack’s anti-tip foot. Failure to

extend the anti-tip foot could result in personal injury or damage

to the tape library if the rack tips over.

Note

For easiest access to the display panel and to the tape drawers,

mount the top of the library in the middle of the rack or 120 cm

(48 in) above the floor.

1. Use the template for your model library as a guide, and install five clip

nuts into each front column of the rack (

on page 21, depending on your library model). The

upper grey clip nuts (item “a” below) are used for older HP racks (55-mm

bezel depth). The lower grey clip nuts (item “b” below) are used for flush-

mount racks.

Use the template as a guide, and install four clip nuts into each back

column of the rack.

Note

Use the EIA markers as a reference point to ensure that the holes

on the rack correspond to the holes on the template. The EIA

markers on the template are represented by #>. Your rack might

look different from the illustration. If the holes in the rack do not

align with the template, move the template up one or two holes

to create proper alignment.
