Introduction
This Rack Mounting Kit can be used to mount the AIT
library in an EIA Standard 19-inch rack. For installation
instructions, contact Sony Service Support Center.
(Charges apply.)
Caution
Do not remove any screws other than those indicated
in this manual. Doing so may cause the AIT library
to fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to the
AIT library.
With a single drive installed, the AIT library weighs
approximately 18 kg / 39.7 lbs. (With two drives
installed, the AIT library weighs approximately 19
kg / 41.9 lbs.)
At least two people are needed in order to handle the
library. Handling the AIT library on your own could
result in back injury or other accidents resulting in
injury or damage to the AIT library.
Before beginning work, always press the power
switch on the rear to turn the power off, and then
disconnect all the cables.
• When installing the Rack Mounting Kit, take all
precautions necessary in order to prevent electrostatic
discharge while work is in progress, including using
anti-static mats and wristbands.
Checking the Package
Contents
After opening the package, make sure that all of the
following items are present. Contact your dealer if
anything is missing.
Rail assembly (2)
Bracket (4)L-shaped bracket (2)
Required Tools
The following tools are needed in order to mount the
Rack Mounting Kit:
• Philips screwdriver
• Standard screwdriver
Cautions Concerning Installation
Check the following points before mounting the AIT
library in a rack.
• Install the library in an operating environment with a
temperature range of 10 to 35 °C, and a humidity
range of 20 to 80 %. We recommend installing the
library in an indoor location where the temperature is
maintained between 15 and 25 °C.
• When installing the library, keep cables and other
obstructions away from the area around the fan on the
rear of the library and the ventilation holes on the front
of the library.
• When the library is mounted in a rack, the balance of
the rack could be affected and the rack could tip over.
To prevent this from happening, we recommend
securing the rack with brackets that are designed to
keep it from tipping over.
• Confirm that the correct power is being supplied to all
of the equipment in the rack.
• Confirm that the power outlet and power cord that you
are using are properly grounded.

Note
The inner rail will be mounted on the AIT library,
while the rail assembly will be mounted on the rack.

Preparation
In order to mount the AIT library, first mount the rails
and brackets on the library and rack.
Before beginning work, always be sure to turn off the
AIT library, and then disconnect all cables.
Pull Out the Inner Rails
Pull out the inner rails from the rail assemblies.
1
Pull out the inner rail from one of the rail
assemblies as far as it will go.
The rail can be extended until the locking arm on
the back of the rail emerges.

Preparing the Library
Mount the L-shaped brackets and inner rails on the
library.
Caution
• Electrostatic charges that build up on your body can
damage the components. Before starting work, touch
the metal chassis of the AIT Library.
• Do not touch any components other than those that
must be replaced. In the event of damage, a charge will
be assessed for repair.
Mounting the B Caps
After you have removed the front panel and replaced the
A caps with the B caps, mount the L-shaped brackets.
The following procedure is unnecessary when libraries
already have B caps. Proceed to “Mounting the Lshaped Brackets”.

Installing the B Caps
Insert a set screw into the B cap, then align the B
cap with the pin in notch D on the front panel and
insert the B cap into notch D. After confirming that
notch D and the set screw are properly aligned, use
the Allen wrench to tighten the set screw while
pressing the B cap inward with your finger.

Mounting the Inner Rails
Caution
1
Use three D screws to mount an inner rail on the
library.

Mount the other inner rail on the other side of the
library in the same fashion.
Preparing the Rack
Mount the brackets and rail assemblies on the rack.
Mounting the Brackets
Mount the brackets that hold the rail assemblies in place
on the rack.
1
Decide where the brackets are to be mounted.
We recommend using a marker to mark the position
where each bracket is to be mounted.
Use the bracket positioning screws only with the
upper part of the screw holes on the front brackets.

Note that if the four brackets are not mounted at the
correct height, it will be impossible to mount the

2
Using the bracket positioning and B screws, mount
the two front brackets on the rack.
1 Insert a bracket positioning screw into the second
screw hole from the top of the bracket and tighten
it slightly.
2 Insert a B screw into the second screw hole from
the bottom of the bracket and tighten it slightly.
Align the screws with the center of the rack screw
holes, and then tighten the screws completely,
securing the bracket to the rack.
3
Using the B screws and rack mounting spacers,
mount the two rear brackets on the rack.
First align the rack mounting spacers with the upper
part of the rack screw holes, then center the B
screws on the rack screw holes, and finally secure
the brackets to the rack.
Make sure that all four brackets are facing the
correct way and are mounted at the correct height.
Caution
Only use the spacers with the upper screws on the
rear brackets. (The spacers are only used with the
rear brackets.)

Preparation
Mounting the Rail Assemblies on the
Brackets
1
Place a rail assembly in one set of brackets, slide the
rail assembly all of the way into the rack (1), and
then pull the slide rail out of the rail assembly (2).

3
Push the slide rail back into the rail assembly, and
then use a C screw to secure the front end of the rail
assembly to the bracket.
If you use the slots for fastening, be sure to
carefully align the rack and the rail assembly before
tightening the screws.
4
Mount the rail assembly on the other side in the
same manner.
When the Rack Obstructs Rail Movement
Depending on your rack, the clearance between the
bracket and the rail may be so small that the rail comes
in contact with the rack, making the rail difficult to slide
in and out.
Note
If the rail comes in contact with the rack and does
not slide in and out smoothly, install the rail guides.
For information about how to install the rail guides,
see “When the Rack Obstructs Rail Movement”
(page 15).
2
Align the screw holes in the rail assembly with the
screw holes in the brackets, and then use a C screw
to secure the back end of the rail assembly to the
bracket.
When you use the S screw holes you do not need to
use nuts, so installation is easier. If you cannot use
the S screw holes, secure the screws with nuts.
The position is easy to determine if you push the
rail assembly all of the way into the rack so that it
is touching the post in the back of the rack. If the
screw holes do not line up, use the slot to the side of
the round screw hole to fasten the rail assembly to
the bracket.
Use this slot if the screw
holes do not line up.

To remedy this problem, we recommend that you install
the supplied rail guides on the front brackets when
preparing the rack for the AIT library.

Install the rail guides on the front brackets.
Install the rail guide so that it fits snugly against the
bracket, then secure it with a D screw (B4 × 5).
Each rail guide can be installed on the left or right
bracket. However, because the rail guides have a
slight bend at one end, make sure that you do not
install them inside out.
