Chapter 12 Installing, Removing, and Replacing
Installing the Library in a Rack
Dell PowerVault ML6000 User’s Guide 339
4 Determine the type of rack in which you plan to install the rack-
mount kit. Different racks require different rack-mount parts.
Although the rack-mount kit contains many parts, the parts you use
depend on your rack’s mounting holes.
a
If the rack has round mounting holes, use the small ferrules and
the nut clips.
b
If the rack has square mounting holes, use the large ferrules and
the cage nuts.
c
If the rack has threaded (tapped M6) holes, do not use the
ferrules, nut clips, or cage nuts.
5 Determine where in your rack you want to install the rack-mount
shelves.
Consider installing the shelves at a height that puts the base of the 5U
Library Control Module anywhere between the 28U-32U alignment
markers, which is usually a comfortable height for reading the
operator panel. Remember, the 5U Library Control Module can be
placed anywhere within the library configuration above, below, or
between any 9U Library Expansion Modules. However, for
recommended configuration, see Installing a New Multi-Module
Library Configuration on page 246.

Shelves

Required parts:
Rack-mount shelves, (8) ferrules, (8) thumbnuts

If the rack-mount shelves are extended, collapse them to their
smallest size. It is easier to fit and position the shelves within the rack
when the shelves are compact.
2 Place a ferrule on the end of each stud, and screw it on completely.
The larger side of the ferrule should face the rack shelf, and the
tapered end should face out. Be sure to use the proper size ferrule as
described in Preparing for Installation on page 334.
Note:
Extending the shelves can be difficult, but they are
designed to be resized by hand. Do not use tools to resize
the shelves, and never take them apart.
