Setting Up the Rackmount Model
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, be sure that:
■ The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
■ The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
■ In single rack installations, the stabilizing feet are attached to the rack.
■ In multiple rack installations, the racks are coupled.
■ Only one rack component is extended at any time. A rack may become
unstable if more than one rack component is extended for any reason.
Setting up the rackmount model requires a template, rack enclosure slide rails, and
two people or a mechanical lift to physically install the library in a rack enclosure.
To set up 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 11). The black dots along the sides of the template indicate the top of
a U.
