When the Rack Obstructs Rail Movement

Depending on your rack, the clearance between the rack and the rail may be so small that the rail comes in contact with the rack, making the rail difficult to slide in and out.

To remedy this problem, we recommend that you install the supplied rail guides on the front brackets when preparing the rack for the S-AIT library.

Insert the library into the rack, and then secure the brackets.

Caution

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

1 Install the rail guides on the front brackets.

Install the rail guide so that it fits snugly against the bracket, then secure it with a A screw (B4 ⋅ 5). Each rail guide can be installed on the left or right bracket. However, because the rail guides have a slight bend at one end, make sure that you do not install them inside out.

2 Install the opposite rail guide as explained in step 1.

3 Mount the rail assemblies on the brackets. The rails slide in and out smoothly.

2 Have two or more people lift the library, fit the inner rails into the rail assemblies, and then slide the inner rails to the locking arm position.

The library will not slide past the locking arm position.
