Rackmounting

the

Library

(for

Rack

Installation

ONLY)

Attention:

If

you

haven’t

removed

the

shipping

lock,

complete

this

first

before

rackmounting

your

library.

See

“Removing

and

Storing

the

Shipping

Lock”

on

page

4-4.

The

2U

library

and

the

4U

library

are

easily

installed

into

a

standard

19-inch

rack

system.

A

standard

19-inch

rack

system

contains

multiple

mounting

locations

called

EIA

units

as

defined

by

the

Electronics

Industries

Association.

Each

EIA

unit

contains

three

square

or

round

holes

used

to

mount

rack

designed

equipment.

These

units

are

often

referred

to

as

″U″s,

thus

the

2U

library

requires

2

EIA

units

(or

6

holes)

of

space;

the

4U

library

takes

4

EIA

units

(or

12

holes)

of

space.

Each

unit

is

separated

by

a

very

small

space.

See

Figure

2-5

for

an

example

of

how

to

count

EIA

units.

The

2U

library

requires

2U

(3.5

in.)

of

space.

The

4U

library

requires

4U

(7

in.)

of

space.

If

you

are

not

rackmounting

your

library,

skip

this

procedure

and

go

to

“Connecting

the

Host

Interface

Cable”

on

page

4-12.

Important:

A

2U

library

weighs

15.59

kg

(34.37

A

4U

library

weighs

21.32

kg

(47

lbs.)

with

To

reduce

the

safety

requirements

and

guidelines

for

manual

material

handling,

2.

obtain

adequate

assistance

to

lift

and

stabilize

the

library

during

installation

or

removal,

and

3.

always

remove

all

cartridges

to

reduce

the

overall

weight

of

the

library.
