Introduction

This Rack Mounting Kit can be used to mount the S-AIT library in an EIA Standard 19-inch rack (Universal pitch). For installation instructions, contact Sony Service Support Center. (Charges apply.)

Caution

Do not remove any screws other than those indicated in this manual. Doing so may cause the S-AIT library to fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to the S-AIT library.

With a single drive installed, the S-AIT library weighs approximately 27 kg / 59.5 lbs. (With two drives installed, the S-AIT library weighs approximately 31 kg / 68.3 lbs.)

At least two people are needed in order to handle the library. Handling the S-AIT library on your own could result in back injury or other accidents resulting in injury or damage to the S-AIT library. Before beginning work, always press the power switch on the rear to turn the power off, and then disconnect all the cables.

When you install the L-shaped brackets or inner rails to the library, you must use the supplied A screws (B4

x5). Using any of the other supplied screws may lead to damage.

You can install this kit on a frame with 700 to 850 mm (28 to 34 in.) in internal width. If your rack is larger than this, you cannot use this kit.

Because the S-AIT library is compatible with universal pitch racks, you can use this kit on such racks, but not on wide pitch racks.

You cannot install the S-AIT library side brackets on a frame with square screw holes or holes smaller than 9

mm(0.4 in.) in diameter.

The following tools are needed in order to mount the Rack Mounting Kit:• Philips screwdriver

Cautions Concerning Installation

Check the following points before mounting the S-AIT library in a rack.

Install the library in an operating environment with a temperature range of 10 to 35 °C, and a humidity range of 20 to 80 %. We recommend installing the library in an indoor location where the temperature is maintained between 15 and 25 °C.

When installing the library, keep cables and other obstructions away from the area around the import/ export slot on the front and the fan and the ventilation holes on the rear of the library.

When the library is mounted in a rack, the balance of the rack could be affected and the rack could tip over. To prevent this from happening, we recommend securing the rack with brackets that are designed to keep it from tipping over.

Confirm that the correct power is being supplied to all of the equipment in the rack.

Confirm that the power outlet and power cord that you are using are properly grounded.

When installing the Rack Mounting Kit, take all precautions necessary in order to prevent electrostatic discharge while work is in progress, including using anti-static mats and wristbands.
