FastStorTM 2 Racking or De-racking the Autoloader You can convert your FastStor 2 autoloader from a desktop to a rackmount configuration or from a rackmount to a desktop configuration.
PAGE 2
Converting from Desktop to Rackmount When converting a desktop autoloader to a rackmounted unit, you must install the rail assembly onto the rack, attach the L-brackets to the autoloader, and then install the autoloader into the rack. Before you begin, review the following guidelines: • For continued safe operation, the recommended maximum internal ambient temperature of the rack should not exceed 104° F (40° C).
PAGE 3
Installing the L-Brackets to the Autoloader The rackmount kit contains two front L-brackets that must be installed to the autoloader before you can rackmount it. 1 Turn off the autoloader and then remove the SCSI cable(s) and power cable from the rear of the autoloader. 2 Using a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the front two screws that secure the right side and left side of the autoloader cover. 3 Save the screws for step 5.
PAGE 4
Make certain that the restraint tabs at the rear of the rail assembly slide into the back of the autoloader and that the L-bracket is fully seated against the front flange of the rack. 3 Using a # 2 Phillips head screwdriver, attach the L-brackets on each side of the autoloader to the rack with the two remaining Phillips screws, or with the appropriate screws for your rack. 4 Reconnect the SCSI cable(s) and power cord to your autoloader. Refer to the FastStor 2 User’s Guide.
PAGE 5
Converting from Rackmount to Desktop When converting a rackmounted autoloader to a desktop unit, you must first remove the unit from the rackmount assembly and then remove the L-brackets from the autoloader. 1 Turn off the autoloader and remove the SCSI cable(s) and power cord from the rear of the autoloader. 2 Using a # 2 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the L-brackets to the rack. Store the screws in a secure location.
PAGE 6
Re-install the screws (from step 5) back into the front right and left side of the autoloader to secure the autoloader cover. 7 Reconnect the SCSI cable(s) and the power cord to your autoloader. Refer to the FastStor 2 User’s Guide. Your autoloader is now ready for use as a desktop unit. Store the screws, L-brackets, clip nuts (if applicable), and rail assemblies in a secure location in case you want to rackmount your autoloader again.
