5.Install all of the modules in the equipment rack.

6.Slide each of the 4560SLX Tape Libraries a few inches forward, starting below the top (master) library module.

When installing the cartridge elevator assembly, work from top to bottom of the library assembly. This eases alignment with less binding of the inner guide pins. As each module is physically connected by the retaining screws, slide the module back until seated and the inside guide pin and retainer holes are aligned. Then tighten the retainer screws.

7.Carefully insert the cartridge elevator base unit into the top library module making sure the top pins are fully engaged.

8.Secure the base unit to the top library, using the base unit top and top-middle thumbscrews.

9.Secure the base unit to the second library, using the base unit bottom-middle and bottom thumbscrews.

If the pins are difficult to align to the bottom (slave) libraries, push them forward slightly and then engage each one by pulling them one at a time toward the cartridge elevator and then tighten the appropriate thumbscrews.

10.Using the extension thumbscrews, secure the cartridge elevator to the remaining libraries in the multi-unit library system.

If you still cannot align the bottom (slave) libraries to the cartridge elevator base unit, slightly loosen the rear rail bracket screws for each library, reposition it, and then secure it to the cartridge elevator. Afterwards, re-tighten all rear rail bracket screws.
