Converting from Desktop to Rackmount
When converting a desktop autoloader to a rackmounted unit, you must install the rail assembly onto the
rack, attach the L-brackets to the autoloader, and then install the autoloader into the rack.
Before you begin, review the following guidelines:
• For continued safe operation, the recommended maximum internal ambient temperature of the rack
should not exceed 104
• While installing a rackmounted unit, do not block or otherwise restrict airflow to the front or rear
vents.
• To maintain rack stability, consider the mechanical loading of the rack to ensure a low center of
gravity.
• Before installing a unit into a rack, consider the overall loading of the branch circuit supplying power
to the rack.
• Ensure that a reliable grounding path is maintained in rack system. This unit is intended to be
connected to earth ground.
Installing the Rail Assemblies to the Rack
The rackmount kit contains two rail assemblies that you mount to your rack.
1 Open the shipping carton, remove the rail assemblies and associated hardware.
°F (40°C).
Verify that you have all the components listed in What’s in the Box?
2 If you have non-threaded racks, slide four clip nuts onto the rack where you are installing the rails (two
on the front and two on the back of the rack). If you have pre-threaded racks, skip this step.
3 Position the rail assemblies to your rack, matching the holes on the front and back of the rails with the
holes on your rack.
4 Using a # 2 Phillips head screwdriver, attach the rail assemblies to your rack with four Phillips screws
(two screws on the front and two on the back of the rack) or with the appropriate screws for your rack.
Note the front of the rack illustrated in the following figure.
