Installing Your Mass Storage System
In this chapter you will read how to:
install your mass storage system
connect your mass storage system to other Allen-Bradley products
Chapter 4 describes how to operate your mass storage system.
Your mass storage system comes in a re-usable shipping box. Save this box and
foam packing material to transport your mass storage system to different
locations.
Mount your mass storage system in an area away from machines which cause
vibration and shock. Shock levels beyond those noted in the specification
(appendix A) may result in loss of oxide media or head misalignment (i.e., disk
failure), and/or permanent loss of all recorded data. See appendix A for further
information regarding shock and vibration.
There are two ways to install your mass storage system:
19 inch rack mount (must meet with EIA spacing requirements)
table top mount
Rack Mount
When you order the optional rack mounting hardware kit (cat. no. 177-MRA)
you’ll receive the following:
two mounting brackets
two handles
four flat-headed machine screws
four self-tapping screws
