Cabling
Installation Planning 2-9
Power Requirements
A licensed electrician should install the library's external AC wiring. For more
information about power requirements of the SL8500, see "Power Configuration
Options" on page 1-9.
Cabling
The rear library doors have notches on the top and bottom for routing interface and
power cables to the tape drives and PDUs. In the table below, left and right are when
viewing the rear of the library.
Ethernet, power, and interface cables should be routed through floor or ceiling cutouts
of the site. Cutouts should be located near the rear corners of the DEM. The
recommended "rough-in" AC feed (power cable) measured from the top of the raised
floor to the input of the power distribution unit is 46 cm (18 in.).
Make sure any cabling or conduit inside the library does not interfere with the
removal and replacement of any components, such as the DC power supplies,
electronics control module, tape drives, or accessory rack equipment. See Figure 2–3
below.
If the existing fire suppression cutouts are not being used, use flexible conduit or
cables to route power connections to the AC power supply from above the library. If
the fire suppression cutouts are being used, new cutouts should be made in the frame
to route conduit or cables to the AC power supply. Optional routing to the left of the
tape drive bays may be used for clearance. However, use flexible conduit for the tape
drive DC power supply grid.
