Rack location requirements

For 8/80 and 10/100 series libraries only.

Refer to the Rack Systems User’s Manual (included with the accessory kit or available at http://www.hp.com/racksolutions

) for more information on installing the rack. This information includes: using the anti-tip mechanism, securing the rack to the floor, and weight/space requirements.

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

Rackmounting the Library

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

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

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.

mount the top of the library in the middle of the rack or 120 cm (48 in) above the floor.

Chapter 1

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.

Chapter 1

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).

Chapter 1 Installing the 2/20, 4/40 & 6/60 Series Libraries into a Rack 21

3. Align the lower (black/silver) rail with the lower two clip nuts, and loosely install a screw into each clip nut. (See Figure 6.)

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.

4/40 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.

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.

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.
