The steps below describe modifications to the procedure “Installing the Library
in a Rack” which will make installing the 14U library in a rack easier. Read this
procedure before unpacking the library because the shipping restraints are left in
place to simplify installation.
NOTE:
This procedure assumes that you are installing a new library in a rack.
Do not take apart the 5U and 9U modules for this procedure, and do not remove
the shipping restraints. Leave the 14U library intact and the shipping restraints
in place.
1
Unpack the library from the shipping carton. Leave the orange robot shipping
restraint and the magazine shipping restraint in place until this procedure
directs you to remove it.
2
Follow the instructions for “Preparing for Installation” in the
Dell™
PowerVault™ ML6000 Tape Library User’s Guide
.
3
Follow the instructions for “Installing the Rack-mount Shelves” in the
Dell™ PowerVault™ ML6000 Tape Library User’s Guide.
4
For the procedure “Preparing Modules for Rack Installation”, follow these
steps:
a
Remove all tape drives, power supplies, and all cords and cables from
the library modules. The modules are much easier to lift into the rack
without the additional weight of the tape drives.
WARNING: Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a 5U Library
Control Module weighs approximately 60 lbs (27.2 kg). A 9U Library Expansion
Module, without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs
(29.5 kg). To avoid serious injury, at least two people are required to safely lift the
modules.
b
Do not remove the orange shipping restraint from the robot.
5
Follow the instructions for “Installing the Bottom Module in the Rack” in the
Dell™ PowerVault™ ML6000 Tape Library User’s Guide
with the
assembled 14U library.
Do not take apart the 5U and 9U modules for this
procedure. Follow the next step before powering on the library.
Ensure the library is secured properly and the installation in the rack is complete.
Remove all shipping restraints before powering up the library
