Rackmounting the Library (for Rack Installation ONLY)
The 2U library and the 4U library are easily installed into a standard 19-inch rack
system. 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 “Attaching
the Library to a Server” on page 4-16.
Important:
A 2U library weighs 15.59 kg (34.37 lbs.) with one drive and without
media. A 4U library weighs 21.32 kg (47 lbs.) with one drive and
without media.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the library:
1.
observe local health and 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.
To install your library in a rack, perform the following steps.
1.
Verify which rack kit was included in your shipment. Although there are two
different rack kits, the steps to install them are the same. After verifying which
Rack Kit you received, see Figure 4-6 on page 4-7 for the installation steps.
