Installation 12
Required tools: None
1 Before beginning installation, verify the contents of the rackmount kit
(see Table 9
) and the rack ear kit (see Table 10).
• You only need one rackmount kit per library. The rackmount kit
allows you to secure the bottom module in the rack. It includes
rack ears for additional security.
• You need one rack ear kit for each additional module. Each rack
ear kit contains the supplies to install right and left rack ears on
one module.
• You must install one set of rack ears for each module in the rack.

Warning: Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a
control module weighs approximately 60 lbs (27.2 kg). An
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.
Note: The rackmount kit cannot be used with every type of rack.
Racks with threaded rails or unique hole spacing, for example,
may not support the rackmount kit. In addition, the rack must
have rail spacing (front to rear) of between 605 mm (23.8 in.)
and 770 mm (30.3 in.).
