Introduction

About This Manual

This manual describes how to mount a Spectra 12K or Spectra 20K library in a standard

19-inch rack, or in an enclosed rack (such as a Compaq® enclosure rack, a Rittal®rack,

or most climate controlled racks).

Estimated Time Required

This procedure will take about 90 minutes.

Materials and Tools Required

You will need a Rack Mount Kit which is shipped with every Spectra 12K and Spectra

20K library. If you have discarded the kit that was shipped with your library, you will

need to order a new Rack Mount Kit (P.N. 90919032), which includes:

• Two rack mount rails

• Two rack mount sliders

• Two rack mount extension brackets

• Eight 10-32 nuts

• 22 10-32 clip-on nuts

• 35 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws

If you are rack mounting a library in an enclosed rack, you will also need an Enclosed

Rack Mount Kit (P.N. 90919038) which includes:

• Left side rack mounting bracket, P.N. 90910771

• Right side rack mounting bracket, P.N. 90910772

• 9 10-32 x 1/4-inch screws

• 4 10-32 x 3/8-inch screws

Rack Mount Installation Guide

You will also need:

• A #2 Phillips screwdriver

• A #2 stubby Phillips screwdriver

• An adjustable wrench

• A tape measure

• The library front door key

Rack Dimensions

The rack mount kit comes with an expandable rail to account for unique rack depth

dimensions. If you know the depth dimension of your rack, you can use this chart to

expand the rail. For example, if you need a depth of 27.83 in. (70.7 cm) you would

attach the rail with four screws using holes slots 1 & 5.

Warning: Do not extend the rack rails to holes 17 and 18—the rack rails

will not be able to support the weight of the library at full

extension.

Rack Mount Installation Guide

Prepare the Library

Note: If you are rack mounting a library that has not yet been installed,

you will not need to disconnect the library cabling. Skip to Step 5.

1. Disable any backup software that may try to access the library.

2. Switch off the power button at the rear of the library.

3. Disconnect the AC power cable.

4. Disconnect all cabling.

5. Move the library to the location of the rack. Make sure there is access to all sides of

the library and rack.

Warning: The library is heavy, weighing approximately 240 pounds

(108.86 kg). You will need at least three people to safely move

the library.

How to Proceed

If you are rack mounting the library in an enclosed rack, proceed to Enclosed Rack

Mounting on page 8.

If you are rack mounting the library in a standard 19-inch rack, proceed to Attach the

Sliders on page 23.

Rack Mount Installation Guide

Enclosed Rack Mounting

If you are installing the library in an enclosed rack, follow these instructions to replace

the current left and right side rack mounting brackets. If you are not installing your

library in an enclosed rack, proceed to Attach the Sliders on page 23.

Note: You will be removing the standard rack mount brackets and

replacing them with enclosed rack mount brackets. The enclosed

rack mount brackets place the library deeper into the rack,

creating room for the door of the enclosed rack to close.

Remove the Robotic Rack Assembly

1. Make sure that the library power is off.

2. Open the library front door with the key.

3. Lower the transport tray to bottom of the robotic rack by gently raising the counter

weight (Figure 3).

Figure 3 The robotic rack counter weight is raised.

4. Rotate the picker so that the bar code scanner faces the rear of the library.

The location of the bar code scanner is shown in Figure 4.

5. Slide the picker along the transport tray to the front of the library (Figure 5).

6. Look at the bottom of the library where the drives are located. If there is a hinge

connecting the left side of the drive slots to the back of the library (Figure 6),

proceed to Step 7.

If your library does not have a hinge (Figure 7), proceed to Step 8.

7. Using the appropriate screwdriver, loosen the screws just enough to move the gate

out of the way from the robotic rack assembly (Figure 8).

Some Spectra 12K libraries have three screws in the gate, and some units will not

have any screws in the gate.
