Space Planning and Service Access Requirements
Recommended Clearance Providing 3 ft (0.9 m) of clearance on each side
of the library is highly recommended.
T950B Minimum Clearance A minimum of 2 ft (0.6 m) of clearance is
required on the left and right ends of the library to provide service access
to the library. If data center equipment is on rolling racks and can be easily
moved to provide 2 ft (0.6 m) of clearance on each end of the library, then
having equipment adjacent to the ends of the library is acceptable. In
addition, a minimum of 2 ft (0.6 m) of clearance at the front and back of the
main frame, each drive expansion frame, and the bulk TAP frame is
required for airflow and for service and operator access.

library, including the minimum access clearance.
