The actual weight varies depending on the number of drives, interface
modules, power supplies, and TeraPack magazines, as well as cartridges,
installed in the library.
See Chapter 4 – Library Specifications, beginning on page 30 for detailed
information about the library weight and dimensions.
Power Requirements
The library includes dual AC power inputs. The standard configuration
uses only one of these inputs. The 2N redundant power supply option,
which must be purchased separately, uses both inputs. When using the
redundant power configuration, connect each input to a separate branch
circuit, which allows for failover in the event of a power failure in one of
the circuits. The failover feature requires the 2N power redundancy option.
The building branch circuit feeding the library requires a circuit breaker rated
at 15 Amps. See
Power Specifications on page 33
for detailed requirements.
Note: Adequate electrical cabling must be completed before the arrival
of the field engineer on site for the library installation.
CABLING REQUIREMENTS
All cabling required for the library must be completed and tested before
installation begins.
Cable Routing
The following table summarizes the cable routing guidelines.
Note: Cable routing can be customized as required.
Contact Spectra Logic Professional Services for more information (see
Contacting Spectra Logic on page 6).
