Description

 

Square rack holes are the most

 

common type of rack holes. They

 

can accept either cage nuts which

 

mount from the back of the rail or

Cage nut

clip nuts which clip on from the

 

side of the rack rail.

Through holes require clip nuts to

accept mounting hardware.

Threaded holes require neither cage or clip nuts to accept mounting hardware.

NOTE: The rails within the rack have a hole pattern that repeats throughout the rail. X marks the screw positions. Install nut clips (included in the accessory kit) on the rails if necessary.

WARNING: If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT install the PX502 tape library too high in the rack. The weight of the library may cause the rack to become “top heavy” and unstable if installed in the top of an empty rack. Begin installing the PX502 tape library from the bottom of the rack if more than one library is installed.
