Extend only one rack component at a time. Racks can become unstable if more than one component is extended. Technical support Telephone numbers for worldwide technical support are listed on the support website: http://www.oracle.com/us/support/ contact.html. Collect the following information before calling:...
1 Introduction The 1U Rackmount Media Tray is a rack-mountable storage system capable of holding up to two half-height 5.25 inch devices. It is compatible with most standard 19-inch racks. There are two models of the 1U Rackmount Media Tray, one for SAS tape drives, the other for SCSI tape drives.
NOTE: The interface board has text, “Port 1–0” and “Port 2–0”, on the PCI board near the internal SAS connector, which also helps identify the routing to the external ports. NOTE: Power for all LTO–5 and later tape drives is supplied through the SAS cable. For all earlier models of LTO tape drive, a separate power cable is required.
2 Device installation A 3/16” (5mm) flat-blade screwdriver or T-15 Torx driver may be required to install a device in the 1U media tray. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the equipment due to electrostatic discharge, be sure to review and practice the procedures in Electrostatic discharge (page 23) before handling the devices.

3 Rack installation Rail mounting kit The rack rails supplied with the 1U rackmount media tray can be used to install the unit in racks that have round, square, or threaded holes in the vertical mounting bars. The rails will fit racks with 23 - 34 inches (58 - 86 cm) separation between the front and rear vertical mounting bars.
Before you begin If you are installing the media tray in a rack with unmarked holes in the vertical mounting bars, identify and mark the correct mounting holes in the rack before you begin rail installation. CAUTION: It is important to make sure that the rack components are level. To ensure that the 1U media tray is installed correctly it may be necessary to measure the height of the correct mounting holes in the front and rear vertical mounting bars.
Insert the pins in the front mounting plate of the outer rack rails into the previously marked holes in the front vertical mounting bars of the rack. The rack rails will lock securely into place. Figure 17 Inserting the pins in racks with round or square holes NOTE: To remove the rail for repositioning, push the spring-loaded tab (3) on the outside of the rack rail and slide it forward (4).

Remove the pins and threaded plates from both ends of each outer rack rail. These pieces will not be used. Figure 19 Removing the pins in racks with 10–32 threaded holes NOTE: The ends of the rack rails are marked FRONT and REAR for proper orientation. Attach the front mounting plate of each outer rail to the rack using four 10-32 screws in the previously marked holes in the front vertical mounting bars of the rack.
Completing the installation Extend the stabilizing feet, if provided, on your rack. Extend the left and right rack rails from the front of the rack. Align the rear of the component rails on the media tray with the front ends of the rack rails, then slide the unit fully into the rack.

A Electrostatic discharge Preventing electrostatic discharge To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
