unpacked the library. If you have not, do so now, referring to the

Tandberg M1500 Unpacking Instructions (PN T6421035) or Tandberg M2500 Unpacking Instructions (PN T6423047).

Determining the Position of the Shelves in the Rack

Before starting the rack mount installation:

1 Determine the proper position of the shelves in the rack:

Caution: Take rack stability into account when determining

where to place the library in the rack.

• The rack is measured in rack mount units. Each unit is called a “U,” and is equal to 1.75 inches (44.45 millimeters). When you look at the rack rails you will notice that the holes are divided into groups of three, with each group separated by a slightly smaller space. Each group of three equally spaced holes is one U (see figure 3

• An M1500 uses 4U of vertical space. The M1500 rack mount shelves must be installed in a full U position (the bottom of the rack mount shelf must be aligned with the bottom of a U) (see figure 4

• An M2500 uses 13.5U of vertical space. The M2500 rack mount shelves can be installed in either a full U or a half U position (the bottom of the rack mount shelf may be aligned with either the bottom or the middle of a U) (see figure 5

• The StackLink mounting hardware uses 1U of vertical space at the top of the rack, and either 1U or .5U at the bottom of the rack (see the Tandberg M-Series StackLink Installation Instructions, PN T6423049, for more information).

2 Mark the desired shelf position on the rack rails.

Figure 3 Example of Full and Half U Mounting Positions

In the half U position, the bottom of the

mounting bracket aligns with the center of the

middle hole in the corresponding U. This

position can be used for M2500 rack mount

shelves only.

insert type that best fits the holes in the rack rails. The insert part numbers are:

• 213468 (for rails with 9 mm square holes)

• 213469 (for rails with 7 mm diameter unthreaded holes)

• 213471 (for rails with M6 threaded holes)

• 213472 (for rails with M5 or 12-24 UNC threaded holes)

• 213473 (for rails with 10-32 UNF threaded holes)

• 213474 (for rails with 1/4 inch diameter unthreaded holes)

The heads of the inserts (not the threads) should fit into the holes in the rack rails smoothly and with very little play.

2 Once you have selected the inserts for your rack, set the others aside. You

will not need them for this installation.

3 Screw the inserts into the two outer holes on each end of the assembled

shelves (see figure 8

Preparing and Inserting Tape Cartridges 0

This section explains how to insert tape cartridges into the M1500 and M2500 libraries. This procedure consists of the following steps:

• Labeling the tape cartridges

• Setting the write-protect switch

• Placing cartridges in the library

Labeling Tape Cartridges

Table 6 Bar Code Label Requirements

Attaching a bar code label to each cartridge enables the library to identify tape

cartridges quickly, speeding the inventory process.

Note: The M1500 and M2500 libraries are capable of reading most

common bar code formats.

Bar Code Label Requirements

Bar code labels must meet the requirements of the latest revision of the ANSI MH10.8M standard, and should use industry standard Code 39 (3 of 9 code).

The basic requirements are listed in table 6

Label size

Quiet zone

Character height

Bar code characters

2.5:1 minimum

Applying the Labels 0

1 Label the tape cartridges (see figure 30):

• DLT and SDLT cartridges use non-adhesive labels that slide into a slot at the front of the cartridge.

• LTO cartridges use adhesive labels that adhere to the front of the cartridge.

Labeling an LTO cartridge

2 Use the same method to apply a cleaning cartridge label to the cleaning

cartridge.

Cleaning cartridge labels are black and white, and their numbers start with the letters CLN.

Caution: LTO tape drive media cannot be degaussed due to the fact

that it uses magnetic servos. Do not attempt to degauss LTO tape drive media. If this media is degaussed, it will no longer work.

Setting the WriteProtect Switch

The write-protect switch (see figure 31) controls whether the tape cartridge is

write-protected or write-enabled:

• Write-protecting a cartridge protects the data it contains from being erased or overwritten. Typically you use this setting when removing the cartridges for storage outside the library.

• Write-enabling a cartridge allows new data to be written to the cartridge or existing data to be modified or erased. This is the setting that cartridges are typically set to when they are inside the library.

Setting the Write-Protect Switch (DLT and SDLT Cartridges)

To write-protect a DLT or SDLT cartridge, move the write-protect switch to the left. An orange tab is visible behind the switch (see figure 31

To write-enable a DLT or SDLT cartridge, move the write-protect switch to the right. The orange tab is not visible when the cartridge is write-enabled.
