6 Installing the Rackmount Shelves
Remember, the control module can be placed anywhere within the
library configuration above, below, or between any expansion modules.
Note: The recommended placement of the control module for 41U
library configurations is on top of three 9U expansion modules
and below the top expansion module.
Installing the Rackmount Shelves
These instructions explain how to install the rackmount shelves.
Required parts: Rackmount shelves, (8) ferrules, (8) thumbnuts
1 If the rackmount 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.
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.
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 (see
Figure 1). Be sure to use the proper size ferrule, as
described in Preparing for Installation on page 2.
