Media Library in Front-mount Configuration

Attaching the Media Library Feet

Some Media Library models are shipped with the feet already attached. Follow the steps below if your library does not have the feet attached and you wish to place the Media Library unit on a flat surface instead of installing it on a rack.

Your PowerFile Library Accessory Kit contains four (4) feet that can be attached to the bottom of the Media Library.

To attach the feet:

1.Detach the Media Library power cord from the power source.

2.Make sure there are absolutely no discs in the Media Library.

3.Place the Media Library upside down on a soft, flat surface that is smooth and clean.

4.Align the positioning nibs on each foot with the alignment holes in the Media Library base.
