Installation
To install a desktop or rack mounted 2U library or 4U library, perform the procedures in this chapter in the
order they are presented.
Choosing a Location
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
Table 1-1. Location criteria
Criteria Definition
Room temperature 10° - 35° C (50° - 95° F )
Power source
v AC power voltage: 100-127 VAC; 200-240 VAC (4 - 2 A)
Note: The 4U library requires two separate power sources to implement redundant
power.
v Line frequency: 50-60 Hz
Place
the library near an AC outlet. The AC power cord is the product’s main AC disconnect
device and must be easily accessible at all times.
Air quality The library should be placed in an area with minimal sources of particulate contamination.
Avoid areas near frequently used doors and walkways, stacks of supplies that collect dust,
printers, and smoke-filled rooms. Excessive dust and debris can damage tapes and tape
drives.
Humidity 15-80 % RH non-condensing
Clearance
v Back: Minimum of 15.4 cm (6 inches)
v Front: Minimum of 30.8 cm (12 inches)
v Sides: Minimum of 5.08 cm (2 inches)
Rack requirements Standard 19-inch rack with:
v 2U (63.5 mm/3.5 in.) of clearance for a 2U library
v 4U (177.8 mm/7 in.) of clearance for a 4U library
Rackmounting
the library is optional.
Unpacking the Library
Note: If the temperature in the room where the library will be installed varies by 15° C (30° F) from the
room where the library was stored, allow the library to acclimate to the surrounding environment for
at least 12 hours before unpacking it from the shipping container.
1. Before you begin, clear a work surface to unpack the library.
2. Before opening and removing the library from the shipping container, inspect the container for shipping
damage. If you notice any damage, report it to the shipping company immediately.
3. Open the shipping container and carefully remove the shipping materials from the top of the library.
Remove the accessory package and set aside.
4. Lift the library out of the carton and remove the bag from the library. Remove the foam cushion from
the back of the library. Save the packaging materials for future use.
Important: Do not place the library on the front panel or the rear panel as this may damage the
library.
