Installing the Rackmount Model into a Storage Cabinet

1. With the inner slide members attached to the Library, install the middle and outer slide
members to the storage cabinet, following the installation instructions in the Compaq Rack
Planning Guide .
2. Using two people, lift the Library and visually align the inner and middle slide members.
Carefully insert the Library's inner slide members into the extended middle slide
members.
3. Slide the Library completely into the storage cabinet until the front panel touches it.
4. Secure the front panel to the storage cabinet using the supplied screws and cage nuts.

Installing and Removing the PTM

This section describes how to install and remove the PTM. The PTM enables the transfer of a
single tape cartridge between two or more Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series Libraries.
The PTM can be used to connect up to five Libraries increasing the storage capacity of the
entire library system.

Installing a Pre-Assembled PTM

To install a pre-assembled PTM:
1. Access the rear panels of the Library units in the storage cabinet and disconnect each one
from its AC power source.
2. Loosen the screws that secure the Library unit's mounting ears to the front of the storage
cabinet. Loosen the screws just enough to allow the Library units to move slightly in and
out.
NOTE: Refer to the Compaq Rack Planning Guide for specific installation instructions.
3. Loosen the rear slide screws so that the Library units float freely in the storage cabinet.
4. Establish the nominal (midpoint) vertical position for the master unit and then tighten its
rear slide screws.
