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.
The AIT library weighs approximately 13.5 kg / 29.8
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
antistatic mats and wristbands.
Compatible Rack Holes
The Rack Mounting Kit is compatible with the
following shapes of screw holes. Mount the rail
assembly bracket on the rack frame as follows,
depending on the rack screw hole shape.
Angled holes: s 9.2 to 10.0 mm
Hexagon socket

Required Tools
The following tools are needed in order to mount the
Rack Mounting Kit:
• Philips 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.

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.

Turn the rail assembly over. Slide the locking arm
to release the lock, and then pull the inner rail all of
the way out.
3
Repeat the process with the other rail assembly,
pulling out its inner rail.

Preparing the Library
Preparing the Rack
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 L-shaped Brackets
1
Use two A screws to mount an L-shaped bracket on
the side of the library as shown in the diagram.
A Screw
Adjust the length of the rail assemblies with the length
of the rack, and then mount the rail assemblies.
Adjusting the Rail Assembly Length
1
Adjust the rail assembly to match the spacing
between the front and rear enclosure mounting
flanges, reposition the screws, and then adjust the
length of the rail assembly.
Spacing between front and rear
mounting flanges
Screw positioning numbers are written along the
edge of the rail assembly bracket. Once the rail
assembly is at the same pitch as the rack, reposition
the screws, and then adjust the length of the rail
assembly.
Bracket
2
Mount the L-shaped bracket on the other side of the
library in the same manner.
Mounting the Inner Rails
1
Use three special screws to mount an inner rail on
the library.

Caution
Be sure to use the special screws to install the inner
rail. If you use screws other than the special screws,
their heads can prevent the rail from sliding.
2
Mount the other inner rail on the other side of the
library in the same fashion.
