4 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

5 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.

7 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.

8 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.

Use the #2 stubby Phillips screwdriver to replace any remaining 10-32 x 1/4-inch bracket screws. 10. Plug in the door cable. Replace the Robotic Rack Assembly 1. Carefully slide the robotic rack assembly into the library. 2. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws that hold the robotic rack assembly to the chassis: first the bottom, then the top. 3. Spectra 20K libraries only—using the flat head screwdriver, replace the three cone head screws that hold the robotic rack to the drive slot assembly. 4. Plug in the 25-pin black connector at the bottom front of the robotic rack assembly. Note: If you determined that you had a library without a hinge connecting the left drive slots to the back of the library, proceed to Attach the Sliders on page 23. Otherwise, proceed to Step 5. 5. Using the appropriate screwdriver, tighten the screws that hold the gate to the robotic rack assembly. 6. Proceed to Attach the Sliders on page 23.

23 Attach the Sliders 1. Close and lock the library door. 2. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach one of the sliders to the right side of the library with six 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws (Figure 32). When attached correctly, the right side slider will extend beyond the back of the unit (Figure 33). 3. Attach the other slider to the left side of the library with seven 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws (Figure 34). Figure 32 The right side slider. Figure 33 The right side slider will extend beyond the back of the unit. Figure 34 The left side slider.

24 Prepare the Rack 1. Determine how high you want to mount the library in the rack. 2. Attach three clip-on nuts to the left side of the rack, starting at the desired height and working down. 3. Attach three clip-on nuts to the rear of the rack, level with the nuts on the front. 4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 on the right side of the rack, making sure that all corresponding clip-on nuts are at the same height. 5. On the rack, mark the locations for the remaining clip-on nuts. Either measure the distances between the holes on the right and left rack mount brackets, or make templates out of masking tape or cardboard. Note: The number of holes, and their locations are different on the right and left brackets. 6. Attach the clip-on nuts to appropriate locations. Figure 35 The top three clip-on nut locations.

25 7. Enclosed racks only—make sure that there will be enough room for the library door to close. Measure the distance from the adjustable mounting flanges (attached to the inside of the enclosed rack) to the outside of the enclosed rack. The distance from the enclosed rack brackets to the front of the library is 2-1/4 inches (5.72 cm). Adjust the mounting flange as necessary to accommodate the library. 8. Proceed to Attach the Rails on page 26. Figure 36 An enclosed rack and adjustable mounting flanges.

26 Attach the Rails You will be installing the front and back halves of the rails first, then you will connect the two halves to make one solid rail for each side. To determine the front and back of the rails, see Figure 37 and Figure 38 below. Note: If you know the exact dimensions of your rack, use the chart on page 5, and attach your rails accordingly. Then attach the rails to the desired height, and go to Mount the Library in the Rack on page 29. Otherwise, use the following procedure to install the rails. Note: The two front rails are identical to each other, as are the two back rails. It does not matter which rail you use for the right or left side. 1. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the back of the right rail to the rack with three 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws (Figure 39). Figure 37 The front rail. Figure 38 The back rail.

27 2. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the back of the left rail to the rack with three 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws (Figure 40). 3. After making sure the front rails are level with the back rails, attach the front rails to the rack. 4. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the front half of the right rail to the rack with three 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws (Figure 41). 5. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the front half of the left rail to the rack with three 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws (Figure 42) Figure 39 The back left rail. Figure 40 The back right rail. Figure 41 The front right rail screws. Figure 42 The front left rail screws.

28 6. Use the adjustable wrench and a #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the front and back rails to each other with four countersink screws and bolts (Figure 43). Caution: Ensure that the nuts attaching the extension bracket to the rail are tight. If the nuts are not tight, the rails will not support the library’s weight. Figure 43 The front and back rails fastened together.

29 Mount the Library in the Rack 1. Align the library with the rack mount rail and set the right slider into the right rail (Figure 44). Warning: The library is heavy, weighing approximately 240 pounds (108.86 kg). You will need at least three people to safely lift and align the library. Figure 44 The library slid into the rails.

30 2. Slide the left slider into the left rail and push the library back into the rack. 3. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the library to the rack. Use the 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws (six on the left side, four on the right side), and attach them according to the numbered sequence illustrated below (Figure 46 and Figure 47). Figure 45 The library in the rack. Figure 46 The left side tightening sequence. Figure 47 The right side tightening sequence. 2 4 6 8 9 10 1 3 5 7

31 Finish 1. Connect the host cables to the library. Caution: If the host computer and/or other equipment was restarted while the library was disconnected, you must exit all programs and shut down all equipment before reconnecting the library. 2. Switch on the AC power at the rear of the library and allow the library to initialize completely. 3. Start the host system. 4. Enable your backup software.
