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
x 5). 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.
Required Tools
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.
