Install the Rails in the Rack
1. Position the left-side rail assembly in the rack so that the front flange is
behind the front screw holes in the rack (Figure 1, step ).
Note: Make sure that the front and back of the rail are attached to the
rack at the same height on the front and back posts. Otherwise
the library will not be level when installed in the rack.
Using a level simplifies the leveling procedure.
2. Adjust the length of the rail assembly as necessary to fit the depth of the
rack ( ).
3. Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, install four M6 screws—two in the
front and two in the rear—to secure the rail to the rack ( ). Tighten
the screws securely.
Note: Two sets of M6 screws are provided. The type you use depends
on the type of rack you have. Use the screws with the larger
shoulder for racks with square holes.
To simplify the installation, have a second person support the
rail while you install the screws.
Leave the middle hole in each rail empty. You will use them
when attaching the library’s mounting brackets to the rack.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to install the right-side rail.
Note: Make sure you install the right-side rail at the same level as the
left-side rail so that the shelves on both are level from right to
left. Otherwise the library will not be level when installed in the
rack.
Use a level to verify that the rail is level from front to back and
the shelf formed by the rails is level from left to right.
Mount the Library in the Rack
1. Lift the library onto the shelf formed by the rails.
2. Slide the library completely into the rack so that the mounting brackets
are against the posts.
3. Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, install one M6 screw in each mounting
bracket to secure the library to the rack, as shown in Figure 2.
The rack installation is now complete.
Warning
The library weighs approximately 34.4 lb. (15,6 kg).
Two people are needed to move or lift the library. Most of the
weight is toward the back of the library.
German: Der Library hat ein Gewicht von ungefähr 15,6 kg.
Zwei Personen sind notwendig, zu verschieben oder
Aufhebung der Library. Die schwersten Komponenten
befindern sich im hinteren Teil der Library.
Important
Do not install the rubber feet if you are installing the library in a rack, as they are
meant for a tabletop installation only!
