Installing in a rack
The TL1000 Tape Autoloader can be easily installed into a standard 19-inch rack
system. A standard 19-inch rack system contains multiple mounting locations that
are called EIA units as defined by the Electronics Industries Association. Each EIA
unit contains three square or round holes that are used to mount rack designed
equipment. The library requires 1 EIA unit (1U) of rack space. Each unit is
separated by a small space.
When you decide on a location in your rack for the library, consider that the
Operator Panel has a small LCD screen. The library must be positioned to allow
for easy viewing. The rear of the library must be free from any obstructions to
allow easy access to the power switch and other rear panel components.
Note: Before you begin the rack installation of the library, read the safety
information in “Rack safety” on page xiii. Also, verify that no desktop feet
are attached to the bottom of the library.
To install the library in a rack:
1. Verify that your rack kit includes all the necessary contents.
2. Determine the location in your rack for your library to be installed. With a
pencil, mark the location on the front vertical rails and rear vertical rails
(Figure 3-1 on page 3-3) in your rack.
