The library is heavy (see product specifications for details). Use extreme caution
and proper equipment when moving the library. Do not install components in the
library until it is secured in the rack.
The library must be installed in the rack that is delivered with the library, or if none
is included, in a standard 19-inch (48-cm), four-post rack. A two-post rack cannot
support the weight of the library. Ensure your floor has adequate structural
integrity, and follow the rack manufacturer's instructions when installing and
securing the rack.
The maximum ambient temperature of the library is 95° F (35° C). Ensure that you
select a location where the air vents at the front of the library and the fans at the
back of the library are not blocked. The library requires unobstructed airflow to stay
properly cooled.
