Front-mount Configuration
An A3 front-mount configuration supports eight front-facing Media Libraries and one Archive
Engine in a standard 42U rack.
Note: Information in this chapter applies to both the Media Library Generation 2 and the Media Library
Generation 3. To identify the library model, the Media Library Generation 2 is labeled “R200 BD” and
the Media Library Generation 3 is labeled “A200 BDB” on the rear chassis. Regardless of which model
you have, the racking installation instructions for front-facing chassis are the same. Figures in this
chapter illustrate the Media Library Generation 3.
