Installing the tape enclosure in a rack
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be
sure that:
■ The rack leveling jacks are extended to the floor
■ The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks
■ The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single rack installation
■ The racks are coupled in multiple rack installations
■ Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if
more than one component is extended for any reason.
When installing the enclosure in a rack:
■ Start at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted
component, and work upward.
■ If possible, install the heaviest components at the bottom and lighter ones
toward the top of the rack.
■ Make sure that the rack-mounting rails are level from front to back.
Before you begin
If you are installing the tape enclosure in a rack with unmarked holes in the
vertical mounting bars, identify and mark the correct mounting holes in the rack
before you begin rail installation.
