Introduction
Checking the Package
This Rack Mounting Kit can be used to load two S-AIT
tape drive units.
Caution
Do not remove any screws other than those indicated
in this manual. Doing so may cause the S-AIT tape
drive(s) unit to fall, resulting in personal injury or
damage to the unit(s).
The S-AIT tape drive unit weighs approximately
17 kg/37.4 lb.
At least two people are needed to handle the S-AIT
tape drive unit. Handling the unit on your own could
result in back injury or other accidents resulting in
injury or damage to the unit.
Before beginning work, always press the power
switch on the rear of the unit to turn the power off,
and then disconnect all the cables.
Required Tools
The following is needed to set up the Rack Mounting

Installation Precautions
Check the following points before mounting S-AIT tape
drive units in a rack.
• Install the unit(s) in an operating environment with a
temperature range of 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F), and a
humidity range of 20 to 80%. We recommend
installing the unit(s) in an indoor location where the
temperature is maintained between 15 and 25°C (59
and 77°F).
• When installing the unit(s), keep cables and other
obstructions away from the area around the fan and the
ventilation holes on the rear of the unit(s).
• When the unit(s) are 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 designed to keep it
from tipping over.
• Confirm that the correct power is being supplied to all
the equipment in the rack.
• Confirm that the power outlet and power cord that you
are using are properly grounded.
• When installing the Rack Mounting Kit, take all
precautions necessary to prevent electrostatic
discharge while work is in progress, including using
anti-static mats and wristbands.

Preparation
In order to mount S-AIT tape drive units, you must first
perform the necessary preparations.
Pull Out the Inner Rails

Preparing the Base Plate
Mount the inner rails on the base plate.
Caution
• Electrostatic charges that build up on your body can
damage the components. Before starting work, touch
the base plate.
• 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 Inner Rails
1
Using the rail screws and nuts, mount an inner rail
to the base plate.
Make sure that the inner rail is in the correct
direction, and then insert the four screws in the
holes to this end on the inner rail and secure them
to the base plate.

Press the flat spring to release the lock, and then
pull the inner rail all of the way out.
3
Repeat the process with the other rail, pulling out its
inner rail.
Note

Preparing the Rack
Mounting the Outer Rails on the Brackets
Mount the brackets and outer rails on the rack.
Mounting the Brackets
Mount the brackets that hold the outer rails 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.
Caution
Note that if the four brackets are not mounted at the
correct height, it will be impossible to mount the
base plate.
2
Using the bracket screws, mount the front and back
brackets on the rack.
Select the screws that best suit your rack from the
supplied screws, and use two screws to secure each
bracket to the rack.
1
Mount an outer rail onto two brackets, align the
screw holes of the outer rail with those of the
brackets, and then use outer rail screws and nuts to
secure the outer rail to the brackets.
• Make sure that the outer rail is in the correct
direction by pointing the square projection of the
rail towards the front of the rack, and then secure
the front and back of the rail with the screws and
nuts.
• Make sure that you slide the front portion of the
rail until it is even with the front bracket before
securing the rail to the brackets.

2
Mount the other outer rail on the opposite side in
the same manner.

When you secure the brackets to the rack, make
sure that the rack screw holes are centered in the
bracket screw holes.
Notes
• Make sure that all four brackets are facing the
correct way and are mounted at the correct height.
• If the brackets do not suit your rack, contact your
rack dealer.

Loading the S-AIT Tape
Drive Units onto the
Rack
You can load two S-AIT tape drive units on the base
plate once it is mounted in the rack.

If there is no space under the base plate, install the
anchoring washers to the bottom of the S-AIT tape
drive unit.
When you do, remove the rubber feet at the bottom
of the S-AIT tape drive unit by loosening their
screws, and then secure the anchoring washers to
the bottom of the unit with the supplied flat head
screws.
2
Load the S-AIT tape drive unit onto the base plate.
Place the unit in such a way that the anchoring
washers fit into the holes in the base plate, securing
the unit in place.
You can to load two S-AIT tape drive units onto the

If you are prevented from sliding the base plate,
press the flat springs on both inner rails and resume
sliding the base plate.
Notes
• If the inner and outer rail do not mate properly,
the bracket are most likely not at the same height.
Align the brackets and try again.
• If the base plate does not suit your rack, contact
your rack dealer.
