3U Rackmount Enclosure
Quick Start Guide
The 3U Rackmount enclosure is provided with one or of the following
supported tape drives already installed:
• LTO-5 Full-Height, SAS model TC-L53FN-AR
You can upgrade a single-drive enclosure to the two-drive configuration by
installing a second tape drive using any supported model of the same type
interface.
This guide references the instructions for installing the 3U Rackmount
enclosure in an equipment rack, and provides the procedures for:
• Connecting the drive interface and power cables
• Installing a second tape drive into the 3U Rackmount enclosure

Caution: If you are installing a half-height tape drive, using screws other than
the Phillips screws labeled as General Mounting Screws can damage
the tape drive.
Do not use screws other than the General Mounting Screws to secure
the internal LTO-5 Half-Height Tape Drive.
6Secure the drive using two screws on each side of the tape drive.
7Install the tape drive tray into the 3U enclosure (see Figure 6):
aPlace the drive tray in the enclosure at an angle and then lay it flat.
bSlide the drive toward the front of the enclosure.
Note: Ensure that the cut outs on the drive tray line up with the tabs on the
enclosure.

10 Installing the 3U Rackmount Enclosure in a Rack
LTO-5 Full-Height Tape Drive
Installing the 3U Rackmount Enclosure in a Rack
The rack rails supplied with the 3U rackmount enclosure can be used to install the unit in
racks that have round, square, or threaded holes in the vertical mounting bars.
The kit contains the following items:
• A template to mark the rack for proper alignment of rack-mounting brackets.
• A cable management system consisting of a cable reel and cable rack bracket.
• A pair of spring-loaded rails.
Tools Required If you are installing the tape enclosure in a rack with unmarked holes in the vertical
mounting bars the following items will make the rack installation easier:
•Pencil
• #2 Phillips screwdriver to install the cable management system.
• Two M6 x 1.0-12L Phillips screws that came with your rack.
Installation
Requirements
When installing the enclosure in a rack:
• Start at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted component,
and work upward.
• If possible, install the heaviest components at the bottom and lighter ones toward
the top of the rack.
• Make sure that the rack-mounting rails are level from front to back.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that:
1. The rack leveling jacks are extended to the floor. 2. The full weight of
the rack rests on the leveling jacks. 3. The stabilizing feet are attached to
the rack if it is a single rack installation. 4. The racks are coupled in
multiple rack installations. 5. Only one component is extended at a time.
6. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended
for any reason.
Before you begin
If you are installing the 3U rackmount enclosure in a rack with unmarked holes in the
vertical mounting bars, identify and mark the correct mounting holes in the rack before
you begin rail installation.
