2-2 StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library Installation Manual
■ The rack front and rear service clearance must be at least 965 mm (38 inches).
■ Install the rack so the front faces the cool aisle and the rear faces the warm aisle.
■ The rack must contain four posts.
■ The rack front to rear vertical rail spacing should be between 457 mm (18 inches)
and 902 mm (35.5 inches).
■ Lower the rack leveling feet and ensure the rack is level (left to right and front to
back). The installed library must remain level for proper operation.
■ Provide sufficient rack space to install the base module (3U) and any additional
modules (2U each) at initial installation (a 300 tape library, ten modules, spans
21U).
In addition, allow for future expansion (2U modules).
To provide unimpeded access during installation of a library module, you should
remove the front door from the rack.
Tape Device Driver
Make sure that the proper device driver is installed, if applicable.
Use Windows Update to obtain the driver for an IBM tape drive.
Download the driver from the HP website, if needed. For example, Oracle has
qualified the HP LTO-5 drive with Windows driver 3.5.0.0.

■ Operating: +10° to +40°C (+50° to +104°F)
■ Non-operating -40° to +60°C (-40° to +140°F)
Relative Humidity:
■ Operating: 20% to 80% non-condensing
■ Non-operating: 10% to 95% non-condensing
The operating environment must adhere to additional requirements (see Appendix B,
"Controlling Contaminants").
Positive Pressurization and Ventilation - Hot Aisle Containment System (HACS)
Hot Aisle Containment Systems (HACS) are data center environmental systems
designed to isolate cold aisles and hot aisles from each other. Both the hot aisle and
cold aisle are temperature and humidity controlled through closed loop process
control equipment. In addition to being able to control air flow, temperature and
humidity, security requirements may also dictate the HACS be cordoned off for
individual customers. Consequently, each HACS cooling and humidification amount
varies specific to customer requirements, the type and amount of equipment allocated
and the environmental control system in use.
Note: Refer to the rack and power distribution unit
documentation for instructions.
