3-8 Compaq StorageWorks TL881/TL891 Family MiniLibrary System Reference Guide Figure Legend 1 2 3 4 5 Table 3-3 PTM Assembled Description Support brace Motor drive section Extension section Tie bar Base section Preparing to Assemble the PTM You will need a clean, flat work area such as a table or workbench. The surface should be long enough to support the full height of the PTM. The height is equal to the height of the stack of modules in your system plus any gaps you intend to include in the stack. Use the following procedure to assemble your PTM. Assembling the PTM In most cases, you have received a pre-assembled PTM. If its length is correct for your system, proceed to the section "Mechanical Installation of the Expansion and MiniLibrary Base Modules" and continue on to the end of the chapter. If you need to add sections, please take a few minutes to read this section and the section "Installing the Belt," before proceeding to "Adding to an Existing PTM." NOTE: References to left and right refer to the position of the part when the PTM is assembled and mounted in the rack, as viewed from the front of the rack. 1. Place the base section, with the inside facing down, overhanging the right end of the work area, with the bottom plate of the section toward the right (see Figures 3-1 and 3-4). 2. Place each of the extension sections, with the inside facing down, in a row aligned edge-to-edge beginning with the base section. The bottoms of the sections should be toward the right. Disregard the motor drive at this time.
