i500 libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack. The rack
secures the bottom module, and all other modules are then secured to the
bottom module.
The Rackmount kit secures your library within a rack. These instructions explain
how to install your library into a rack, and how to install additional modules into
an existing rack.
Installing the modules into the rack requires at least two people.
WARNING: All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack having a
main protective earthing (grounding) terminal, and power must
be supplied via an industrial plug and socket-outlet and/or an
appliance coupler complying with IEC 60309 (or an equivalent
national standard) and having a protective earth (ground)
conductor with a cross sectional area of at least 1.50 mm
AWG).
To ensure proper airflow and access space, allow 60 cm
(24 inches) in the front and back of the library.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should a rack be moved while loaded
with one or more modules.
