1. EZ Install Modules EZ Install Modules The EZ install modules are easier to install into a rack because the arrays doors and front panels are already installed on the modules The service representative installs rails and brackets into the rack and slides in the modules then attaches them to the rack Caution Compatibility issues You can add the EZ install modules into a rack that has the original design modules but you cannot add the original design modules into a rack with all EZ install modules See the following rules Customers who purchased the original design version of the library and who want to add modules can either m Order original design expansion modules m Order EZ install modules Once an EZ install module has been installed only EZ install modules can be installed below that module See the following examples Base Module original DEM original DEM EZ CEM original No Base Module original DEM original DEM EZ CEM EZ Yes Customers who purchased the EZ install version of the library and who want to add modules must order only EZ install modules As with the original designed modules the EZ modules are not customer installable Rack Planning The SL500 library is a rack mountable library that requires a standard 483 mm 19 in rack or cabinet for installation Most racks contain units of measure which are called RU s rack units Each RU is equ
