f If the studs do not reach the mounting holes, pull the front of the shelf toward you to extend it to the necessary
length. Hold the base of the shelf with one hand, and pull the extensible part of the shelf with your other hand.
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.
g Insert the shelf's front studs into the rack's front mounting holes.
h Fasten a thumbnut to the end of each stud. Secure the rack tightly, so that the ferrule fits snugly within the hole
in the rack.
4 Visually make sure that both shelves are level, and that they are aligned properly within the rack.
5 Make sure that all thumbnuts are fastened tightly. Some thumbnuts may have loosened during installation.
Preparing Your Library for Rack Installation
1 Power off your library and disconnect all power cords, network data cables, and module-to-module cables.
2 Remove all tape drives from the library modules. The modules are much easier to lift into the rack without the
additional weight of the tape drives.
Warning: Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a 5U Library Control Module
weighs approximately 60 lbs (27.2 kg). A 9U Library Expansion Module, without tape drives, tape
cartridges, or power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
To avoid serious injury, at least two people are required to safely lift the modules.
3 Follow the instructions in the related sections in this chapter that explain how to install modules and libraries. These
related sections contain important information on how to prepare the module safely and correctly for installing in a
rack, including parking the robot in the control module and removing top and bottom covers. The appropriate sections
are:
•
Installing a Stand-Alone 5U Library Control Module
•
Installing a New Multi-Module Library Configuration
•
Adding 9U Library Expansion Modules to an Existing Library
•
Replacing the 5U Library Control Module
