Installation 3-17

NOTES: All of the screws, washers, nutplates and/or metric conversion brackets required
for rackmounting in either cabinet type are supplied with the Expansion Unit and
MiniLibrary Base Module. You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a flathead
screwdriver.
The left and right slides are alike, so there is no risk of confusing the parts on reassembly.
The

front of the cabinet, and front rails in this text refers to where the module face will be

exposed (typically opposite from the main power source location). The main power source
location thus becomes the

rear of the cabinet, and where the rear rails exist.

4.

Loosely assemble a mounting bracket to each outer slide, using two 10-
32 screws with washers and a nutplate for each. Select slots in the
mounting brackets so the length of the assembly equals the distance
between the front and rear rails of the rack.

5.

Locate the screw holes in the front and rear rails of the cabinet or
equipment rack where the drive is to be installed.

CAUTION: The cooling fan at the rear of the drive must not be obstructed when
the drive is installed in the rack. It is advisable to allow two inches of clearance
behind the rear panel of the module.
