16 Choosing a Location

Chapter 1

Installing the 2/20, 4/40 & 6/60 Series Libraries into a Rack

The instructions in this section apply to 2/20, 4/40, and 6/60 series libraries mounted in a standard 19-inch rack with a depth between 24 and 34 inches.

Caution Make sure that the rack and all equipment mounted in the rack have a reliable ground connection.

Verify that the total current of the rack components does not exceed the current rating of the power distribution unit or outlet receptacles.

WARNING Do not move the library without additional help or an appropriately rated lift device. The 2/20 series library weighs 40 kg (87 lb). The 4/40 series library weighs 75 kg (165 lb). The 6/60 series library weighs 104 kg (249 lb).

Tools and Parts

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

Phillips #2 screwdriver

Torx screwdriver with T20 and T25 bits

1/2-inch open-end wrench

Chapter 1

Rackmounting the Library

WARNING

Before you begin, lower the rack’s leveler feet with the open-

 

ended wrench, and extend the rack’s anti-tip foot. Failure to

 

extend the anti-tip foot could result in personal injury or damage

 

to the tape library if the rack tips over.

 

 

 

 

Note

For easiest access to the display panel and to the tape drawers,

 

mount the top of the library in the middle of the rack or 120 cm

 

(48 in) above the floor.

 

 

1.Use the template for your model library as a guide, and install five clip nuts into each front column of the rack (Figure 3 on page 20, Figure 4 on page 20, or Figure 5 on page 21, depending on your library model). The upper grey clip nuts (item “a” below) are used for older HP racks (55-mm bezel depth). The lower grey clip nuts (item “b” below) are used for flushmount racks.

#

#

#

a #

#

#

#

#

#

#

Use the template as a guide, and install four clip nuts into each back column of the rack.

Note

Use the EIA markers as a reference point to ensure that the holes

 

on the rack correspond to the holes on the template. The EIA

 

markers on the template are represented by #>. Your rack might

 

look different from the illustration. If the holes in the rack do not

 

align with the template, move the template up one or two holes

 

to create proper alignment.

2.Align the upper (black) rail with the top two clip nuts and loosely install a screw into each clip nut. Slide the rail out so that it equals the rack depth, and attach to the back clip nuts. To allow for enough clearance, do not tighten these screws until you have installed the library.

Note

Ensure that you are using the appropriate holes in the upper rail

 

to allow enough clearance, illustrated in Figure 6 on page 22.

 

The clearance between the top and bottom rails should be

 

approximately: 2/20 series = 22 cm (9 in); 4/40 series = 43 cm

 

(17 in); 6/60 series = 65 cm (26 in).

a.Slide the rail so that it equals the rack depth, and loosely install the screws.

b.Tighten all screws to secure the rails.

c.Tighten the two pre-installed screws inside each mounting rail to secure the rail in position.

4. Install the library.

WARNING The majority of the weight is near the back of the library. Use appropriate force when lifting the library, while ensuring the library remains level to avoid overturning.

Note

To reduce the weight of the library, you can easily remove all the

 

drives. See Removing and Replacing Drive Modules on

 

page 162 for more information.

 

 

2/20 Series Library:

With the help of another person, use the lifting straps built into the sides of the library, and slide the library between the upper and lower sets of mounting rails. Remove the lifting straps once the library is partially installed. Save these straps for future use when moving the library.

Figure 7

Lifting Straps

1 Chapter

Chapter 1

Installing the 2/20, 4/40 & 6/60 Series Libraries into a Rack 23

4/40 and 6/60 Series Libraries:

Use a mechanical lift that is rated to the weight of the library, and follow the steps below to install the library.

a.Break away the edges of the packing material at the bottom of the library.

b.Use the straps to ease the library onto an appropriately rated mechanical lift. Use the lift to raise the library so that it aligns with the bottom rails.

c.Slide the library onto the lower rails. Have at least one person guide the library from the front and one person pull the library from the back, using the vertical handle (Figure 8 on page 24).

d.Remove the lifting straps once the library is partially installed. Save the straps for future use when moving the library.

Figure 8

Library Installation

Caution Do not push the library from the front. Use the handle shown in Figure 8. DO NOT pull on the handle(s) located on the back of the power supply or drive modules.

WARNING Do not move the library without additional help or an appropriately rated lift device. The 2/20 series library weighs 40 kg (87 lb). The 4/40 series library weighs 75 kg (165 lb). The 6/60 series library weighs 104 kg (249 lb).

5.Tighten the screws on the top mounting rail to secure the library.

6.Install the stop bracket to ensure the library is secured inside the rack, and will not come out past the service position (approximately 2/3 of the library is out of the rack).

2/20 Series Library:

a.From the back of the library, unscrew the power supply thumbscrew by hand or with a screwdriver.

b.Install the stop bracket by sliding the edge of the bracket under the thumbscrew and threading the tab through the latch stop.

c.Tighten the power supply thumbscrew to secure the bracket to the library.
