Library tabletop models require no mechanical assembly for mount-
ing. Place the library module on a desk, table or other stable, horizon-
tal surface. Make sure the cooling bezel at the front and fans at the
rear are not obstructed. Allow 12 inches (30.4 cm) and 6 inches (15.2
cm) at the rear.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or
damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or tele-
communications connectors into this receptacle
Any RJ-45 receptacle marked with these symbols indi-
cates a Network Interface Connection.
Any surface or area of the equipment marked with this
symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot
component. If this surface is contacted, the potential for
injury exists
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from hot compo-
nents, allow the surface to cool before touching.
INPORTANT: The magazine doors have both an electric release (via
the GUI touch screen) and a manual release. It is recommended that
the magazine doors are always open using the GUI touch screen. In
an emergency, the doors can be manually open pushing a paper clip
into the two manual release. See “Opening the Doors” on the back of
this poster for mechanical release locations.

1. Attach the shorter front 1and longer rear 2mounting brackets to
the outer and middle slide members 3.
2. Make sure you have adequate space available in the rack.
3. Mark the attachment points for the mounting brackets on the rack’s
front and back vertical rails using the supplied mounting template.
IMPORTANT: Fully tighten the front mounting bracket screws. Leave the
rear mounting bracket screws “finger tight” to prevent binding when
mounting the library.
4. Attach the slide members using the supplied fasteners. Install clip nuts 1on
the inside of the slide member’s front and back mounting brackets only if the
vertical rail mounting holes are not tapped.
5. Push the middle slide member 4as far as possible to the front of the slide
member assembly.
WARNING: Use a mechanical lift to perform the next step. Make cer-
tain, when the library is fully extended, that a force of 20% of the
racks’s weight, but not more than 57 lb. (26 Kg), applied in any direc-
tion other than upwards, does not cause the rack to overbalance.
1. Mark the attachment points for the library retaining screws using the
supplied mounting template.
2. Install the two clip nuts on each of the rack’s front vertical rails.
3. Lift the library and visually align the inner and middle slide members.
4. Carefully insert the library’s inner slide members into the middle slide
members.
5. Slide the library completely into the rack until the front panel touches it.
6. Fully tighten the rear mounting bracket screws.
WARNING: A Storage cabinet might become unstable if more
than one component is extended for any reason. Extend only one
module at a time.
CAUTION: The library module is heavier toward the tape drive
end (rear). The library can be made lighter by removing the tape
drive(s) prior to rack mount installation.

Template Size
Use the template shipped with the library to mark the location of the mount-
ing hardware on the mounting rails of the storage cabinet.
1. Push back the tabs in the top of the template and place them in the
correct holes in the mounting rack. Match up the hole pattern indicated
on the sides of the template with the hole pattern in the mounting rack.
2. Make sure to begin measuring in the correct place. If a module already
installed immediately below the planned position of the new module,
place the template against the front of the mounting rack and rest it on
top of the previously installed module.
3. Use the front of the template to mark the attachment points for mount-
ing brackets, rails, components, or cage nuts on the back of the storage
cabinet.
4. Use the back of the template to mark he attachment points for mount-
ing brackets, rails, components, or cage nuts on the back of the storage
cabinet.
5. Remove the template, then attach the rails using the supplied fasten-
ers.
