EXB-8500c Product Specification for detailed information
about the spacing of these mounting holes.
When mounting the tape drive, follow these guidelines:
■
The mounting location must meet the environmental
requirements discussed in the EXB-8500 and
EXB-8500c Product Specification. These requirements
specify limits for operating temperature, humidity,
airflow, particulate contamination, shock, and
vibration.
■
The tape drive must be mounted solidly and
securely. To assure reliability, there must be no
distortion of the tape drive’s metal housing. Do not
install the tape drive in such a way that its frame is
unsupported. For example, do not hang the tape
drive by an edge.
■
Use either the four mounting holes on the sides or the
four mounting holes on the bottom (“A” or “B,” as
shown in Figures 14 and 15). Using combinations of
mounting holes from different sets may distort the
frame.
■
Objects such as screw heads, cables, or adjacent
devices must not press against the frame of the tape
drive.
■
The ventilation slots at the sides and top of the tape
drive must be free of obstruction so that adequate
airflow is provided.
■
There must be sufficient space to access and operate
the front panel controls.
