1-4 Installation Procedures for Drawers
Configuration Rules
Each type of drawer installed inside the rack has a height given in number of units and has
a priority which determines its position inside the rack.
Priority is determined by drawer function, its height and its weight.
When installing the drawers in the rack, plan configuration according to the following
considerations:
•Start by installing the drawer with the highest priority (refer to the table below).
•If a drawer can be positioned in more than one place, start with position 1. If this position
is not free, use position 2 and so on (refer to the tables below).

The procedure for installing the EPC440 drawer inside a rack can be found in the ESCALA
EPC440 Series Installation and Service Guide – 86 A1 84 KX.
Special Requirements for Drawers
•The I/O drawer(s) must be positioned at the top of the rack.
•The I/O drawer(s) and the SSA drawer(s) are already pre-installed in the rack and
therefore their physical installation in the rack is not documented here.
•In the case of the DAS 3500 and the DAS 3200, the DAS drawer is 11 units high but a
12th unit must be kept for the support plate.
•If additional Overland Library drawers are part of the configuration, these must be placed
just above or just under the first Overland Library drawer.
1-9
Drawer Configuration
T00 Rack (36U) Configuration
The following provides you with the rules involved with drawer mounting inside the 19 ” 36U
T00 rack.
•Each drawer is characterized by its own U height.
Note: Each drawer is affected by a priority. This attribute is useful during the configuration
phase.
•The criteria used to assign a priority to a drawer are:
–Drawer height
–Drawer weight
So, a 12U, 20Kg drawer will have a higher priority than a 8U, 30kg one.
•CPU drawer is an exception to this. Its priority, especially for the first CPU drawer, is
based on its media accessibility: floppy, disk, tape, CD–Rom, and operator panel.
Therefore a CPU drawer is always placed at a convenient height.
•An additional rack is generated when there is no room left that suits to the remaining
drawers.
•For mechanical stability, it is advised to start loading from the bottom, if possible.
•The list of all available drawers that can be put inside the rack is specified in the following
section.
To establish location of drawers inside a rack, follow location rules given in the following
table. Then, in compliance with priorities, assign for each drawer its own location. It is
important to recall that more than one rack may compose a Powercluster.
Drawer Location in T00 Rack
To establish location of drawers inside a rack, follow location rules given in the following
table. Then, in compliance with priorities, assign for each drawer its own location. It is
important to recall that more than one rack may compose a Powercluster.
Note: Even if an area is not fully filled, the remaining space must be kept free.
