Figure 13: Installing the rails
3. Install the two slide-on clip nuts (previously marked using the template, two
holes above the top bracket screw holes) on each of the front rack enclosure
vertical rails (Figure 13).
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.
Caution: The library is heavier toward the tape drive end (rear).
4. Using two people, lift the library and visually align the inner and intermediate
slide rails.
5. Carefully insert the library’s inner slide rails 3 into the extended intermediate
slide rails 2 (see Figure 14).
6. Slide the library into the rack enclosure until the rail locks are engaged.
