Product Description
IBM TS4300 Tape Library Model L3A Feature 7002 Rack Mount Kit (P/N 01KP935 or equivalent FRU)
The IBM Feature 7002 is a rack mount kit designed specifically for the TS4300 Tape Library (machine type 3555), including both base (L1U) and expansion (L3A) modules. This adjustable rail kit enables secure, tool-less installation of the TS4300 library into standard 19-inch EIA racks, providing proper alignment, cable management, and vibration dampening for reliable operation in data center environments. It is required for rack-mounted deployments and supports multi-module configurations (up to 16 modules total) in AIX, IBM i, Linux, and VIOS setups attached to IBM Power Systems servers.
Features
- Adjustable sliding rail design fits standard 19-inch EIA racks with depths from 610 mm to 914 mm (24–36 inches)
- Tool-less installation with quick-release latches and alignment pins
- Supports both base module (3555-L3A) and expansion modules (3555-L3U / L3A)
- Includes cable management arm for organized rear cable routing
- Anti-tilt and safety stop mechanisms prevent accidental tipping during service
- Sturdy steel construction with black powder-coat finish
- Compatible with standard rack mounting holes (square, round, threaded)
