Multiple Library Stacks 0
If the library will be installed in a rack with other PX500
Series libraries, you must prepare each chassis prior to
installation. Preparing the library chassis for installation into
a multiple library stack consists of:
• Removing the FlexLink cover plates
• Installing the alignment hardware
To prepare the library chassis for multiple stack operation:
1 Remove two PHILLIPS screws securing each FlexLink
cover located on the top and bottom of the library
using a #1 PHILLIPS screwdriver (see figure 23
).

libraries to operate in a multiple library stack, it is
not necessary to complete the following
instructions.

the middle of the library stack for improved
performance.
NOTE: Remove the bottom FlexLink cover on every library
except the bottom library in the stack. Remove
the top FlexLink cover on the bottom library in the
stack.
