CHAPTER 2
Site Requirements
This chapter describes the site requirements for the library. Make sure that
the location where the library will be used meets these requirements before
the field engineer arrives to install the library.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
The following physical requirements apply to the location where the
library will be operated. Meeting these requirements sets the necessary
parameters for successfully operating the library, as well as ensuring
adequate clearances for accessing the library components.
Flooring
Flooring Material The floor where the library is to be installed must be
level, and must be a hard surface such as cement or tile—do not install the
library on carpeting. Carpeting increases the risk of static discharge when
operating the library.
Library Weight The flooring must be capable of supporting the full weight
of the installed library when it is fully loaded with media. The following
table shows the maximum weight of the installed library when fully
loaded with media, power supply modules, interface modules, and the
maximum number of tape drives.
