Library Weight The following table shows the size and weight
specifications for the library frames and other components.
All dimensions and weights are approximate.
To calculate the approximate weight of a loaded library, calculate the
total weight for all of the frames and then add the weight for each drive,
RIM, and power supply, plus the weight of each full TeraPack
magazine.
To calculate the dimensions of the entire library, total the dimensions
for each frame and add 1.625 inches (4.13 cm) to account for the outer
cover panels on each side of the library.
When calculating space requirements, include the service access
requirements described in Space Planning and Service Access
Requirements on page 22.
