Rackmounting the library (rack installation)
About this task
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 53.
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, complete the following steps.
