INSTALLING THE
IN ARACK
Both the Tandberg StorageLibrary T24 and the Tandberg StorageLibrary T48 are designed
for installation in a standard 4-post, 19-inch rack.
The Tandberg StorageLibrary T24 uses 2 units (2U) of rack space
The Tandberg StorageLibrary T48 uses 4 units (4U) of rack space
The rack-mount kit includes the following items:
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Select an appropriate location—The maximum recommended ambient temperature for
the library is 40° C (104° F). Install the library in an environment compatible with this
temperature limit. A ventilated rack is recommended.
Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a known
grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.
Ensure that the robot is “parked” and that the shipping key is in place prior to moving
the library. See the Product Manual at www.tandberg.com for instructions.
Obtain the following tools:

ASSEMBLING THE RAILS
1. Measure the depth of your rack—Using a tape measure, measure the inside distance
from the front mounting holes of your rack to the back mounting holes.
2. Position the front and back sections of the left-side rail as shown in Figure 1, with the
front rail section on top of the back rail section. Spread the sections to the distance you
measured in step 1.
3. Assemble the left rail using four M5 screws, as shown in Figure 1. Keep the screws loose
so that you can adjust the length of the assembled rail, if necessary.
Warning Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be sure
that the library power switch is in the off position and that the power
cord is disconnected from the library and the outlet.
Warnung Vor der Ausführung von Installations- oder Wartungsarbeiten ist darauf zu
achten, daß der Library-Netzschalter auf “Aus” gestellt ist und daß das
Anschlußkabel vom Library und der Steckdose entfernt ist.
Advertencia Antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento de instalación o de manten-
imiento, comprobar que el interruptor de alimentación de la biblioteca
está apagado y que el cable de alimentación no está enchufado ni a la
biblioteca ni a la toma de corriente.

2. Front of rack—Insert an M5 screw (A) through one of the front rack screw holes (B) and
engage the pem nut in the rail flange (C). If your rack has square mounting holes or the
holes are much larger than the screws provided in the kit, use a washer. Finger-tighten
the screw.
Insert an M5 screw (A) through a second screw hole (B) and engage the pem nut on the
second screw hole in the rail flange (C). If necessary, use a washer. Finger-tighten the
screw.
3. Adjust the length of the rail assembly as necessary to fit the depth of the rack (E).
4. Back of rack—Make sure the rail assembly is level, then use M5 screws (A) to attach the
back flange (D) of the rail to the inside of the rack, using the same procedure as step 2.
If your rack has square mounting holes or the holes are much larger than the screws
provided in the kit, use a washer. Finger-tighten the screws.
5. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws securing the rails to the front and
back of the rack.
6. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the four screws holding the rail assembly
together.
7. Right side rail assembly—Repeat steps 1 through 6 for the right-side rail assembly.
Make sure that the right rail assembly is at the same level as the left rail assembly.
ATTACHING THE LIBRARY TO THE RAILS
To attach the library to the rails:
1. From the front of the rack, place the library onto the shelf created by the rails.
