Carefully unpack the unit from the shipping container. Save the container and

packing materials in case you need to transport the FastStor 1 in the future. The

packaging is specifically designed for the loader to ensure it is not damaged during

transportation.

cartridge labels)

There may be variations of this list.

Note: The FastStor 1 is not shipped with tape cartridges.

Step 2. Installing the FastStor 1 in a Rack

The FastStor 1 is designed for use in a 19” rack system using 1U of rack space.

The length of the power cord and the SCSI cable may restrict the placement.

FastStor 1 Quick Installation Guide 3

attempt to operate the FastStor 1 in any position other than horizontally. Also make

sure that:

•The airflow around the front and back of the FastStor 1 is not obstructed.

•There is a minimum of 60cm free space in front of the unit to allow the

operator to safely remove the magazines.

•The display and operator controls are easily accessed.

•The FastStor 1 is situated away from the floor and in a clean environment

with temperatures within specifications.

The Rack Mounting Kit includes the following items:

•Rail Left Assembly

•Rail Right Assembly

•Screw M6x12 (4 pieces)

•Screw M5x8 (2 pieces)

•Screw M4x12 (4 pieces)

•Nut M4 Hex (4 pieces)

•Washer to M6 (4 pieces)

•Washer to M4 (4 pieces)

Recommended mounting tools:

•Folding rule or tape measure

Installing the Rack Mounting Kit

•Determine the proper position of the rails in the rack.

Caution: Consider rack stability when deciding where to place the FastStor 1.

Hazardous conditions can result from uneven mechanical rack loading.

FastStor 1 uses 1U of vertical rack

space. The rails must be installed in a

full U position. The bottom of the rails

must be aligned with the bottom of a

U. See Figure 3.

FastStor 1 Quick Installation Guide 5

Installing the “Rail Left Assembly”

1. Measure the length between the rear rack mount rails and the front rack

mount rails. If the measurement is shorter than the FastStor 1, move the two

sets of screws M4x12, washers and nuts shown in Figure 4.

2. Adjust the “Rail Left Assembly” to fit the measurement in step 1.

3. Use a 7 mm open-end wrench together with the screwdriver to tighten the

two M4x12 screws to fix the rail length. Note: Using more than two screws

will increase the stability of the Rack Mounting Kit.

4. Place the “Rail Left Assembly” on the left side of the rack, between the rear

rack mount rail and the front rack mount rail.

5. Mount the “Rail Left Assembly” at the desired height using one M6x12 screw

in front (upper hole in rail only) and two M6x12 screws at the back. See

Figure 5.

Installing the “Rail Right Assembly”

Follow the instruction for left side only using the “Rail Right Assembly” on the right

side of the rack.

Make sure all screws in the Rack Mounting Kit are tightened properly before installing the

FastStor 1 in the rack.

Slide the FastStor 1 on the rails from the front of the rack, as shown in Figure 6. Then

secure the FastStor 1 using one M6x12 screw in front of the rack on both left and right sides

(see Figure 7), and one M5x8 on the back of the Rack Mounting Kit on both left and right

sides (see Figure 8).
