Important:
v This additional Rack Hardware Kit will be included with all expansion modules. If you
are not rack mounting your library at this time, store this kit for future use.
v If any of these items are missing, please call the appropriate number listed on the
Hotline Card included in your shipment.
When deciding on a location in your rack for the library, remember that the
Operator Panel is a touchscreen and should be positioned to allow easy access. You
probably want to avoid placing the control module on the very bottom or the very
top of the rack. Also, the rear of the library should be free from any obstructions to
allow easy access to rear panel components. If you think there is a possibility of
adding another expansion module to your library in the future, you may want to
allow for this when deciding where to locate the library in your rack.
Refer to Figure 3-13 on page 3-15 and select one of the recommended
configurations for your library installation.
