This chapter explains how to mount and install the Media Library in a front-facing configuration in the rack.

Front-mount Configuration

An A3 front-mount configuration supports eight front-facing Media Libraries and one Archive Engine in a standard 42U rack.

Note: Information in this chapter applies to both the Media Library Generation 2 and the Media Library Generation 3. To identify the library model, the Media Library Generation 2 is labeled “R200 BD” and the Media Library Generation 3 is labeled “A200 BDB” on the rear chassis. Regardless of which model you have, the racking installation instructions for front-facing chassis are the same. Figures in this chapter illustrate the Media Library Generation 3.
