Chapter 9: Installing, Removing, and Replacing Components
Installing the Rack Mount Kit (Rail Kit)
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 229
Installing the Rack Mount Kit (Rail Kit)
The instructions for installing the rails are the same for both the Scalar
®
i40 and the Scalar i80.
WARNING: If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT
install the library too high in the rack. The weight of the
library may cause the rack to become “top heavy” and
unstable if installed in the top of an empty rack.
WARNING: Do not stack objects on top of the library such as cables
or other computer equipment. The additional weight
could exceed the amount supported by the rack shelves.
Caution: Make sure the rack mounting rails are level, both left to
right and front to back. If the library is not level in the rack,
it will not work properly.
