v Leave the system in the shipping bag. If the installation or staging environment allows it, leave the
product in the full package to minimize condensation on or within the equipment.
v Allow the packaged product to acclimate for 24 hours.
1
If there are visible signs of condensation (either
external or internal to the product) after 24 hours, acclimate the system without the shipping bag for
an additional 12 - 24 hours or until no visible condensation remains.
v Acclimate the product away from perforated tiles or other direct sources of forced air convection to
minimize excessive condensation on or within the equipment.
1
Unless otherwise stated by product-specific installation instructions.
Note: Condensation is a normal occurrence, especially when you ship equipment in cold-weather
climates. All IBM
®
products are tested and verified to withstand condensation that is produced under
these circumstances. When sufficient time is provided to allow the hardware to gradually acclimate to the
indoor environment, there should be no issues with long-term reliability of the product.
Choosing a location
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
Table 22. Location criteria
Criteria Definition
Room temperature 10° - 35° C (50° - 95° F )
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.
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. Two separate power sources
must be available for redundant power.
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 (88.90 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.
