Placement with Existing Equipment
It may be necessary to install the library next to previously installed
equipment in your data center. Servicing the library’s interior components
is most easily accomplished from the right side (when viewed from the
front). For this reason, Spectra Logic recommends placing the library so
that its right side is accessible. See Service Access Requirements on page 25
for the minimum recommended clearances around the library.
Special servicing arrangements can be made to suit your equipment
configuration. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the
placement of your library in your data center, contact Spectra Logic
Professional Services. See Contacting Spectra Logic on page 6.
Rack Installation
Spectra T200 or T380
The T200 and T380 libraries MUST be installed in a rack. Both libraries are
designed to fit in a standard 19-inch, four-post rack. Using a rack that is at
least 43 inches (110 cm) deep is recommended. An additional 3 inches
(7.6 cm) at the back of the rack may be required to allow for cable
clearance. A rack that allows access to the library’s side panels simplifies
maintenance and service procedures.
The following table shows the height and rack space requirements for the
two libraries.
Notes: The library may be too deep for some enclosed racks.
An enclosed 19-inch, four-post rack can be purchased from
Spectra Logic when you purchase your library. The rack has
two doors and removable side panels to provide access to the
sides of the library.
Make sure that the rack is assembled and placed near the AC power outlets
and network connections.
The T200 and T380 must be installed in a standard 19-inch (48 cm), four-post rack to
prevent tipping. The rack must be located on a level, hard-surfaced floor such as
cement or tile. A two-post rack will not support the weight of the library.
Warnung: Die T200 und T380 sind in einem Standard-48 cm, Vier-Pfosten-Rack zu
verhindern Kippen installiert werden. Ein Zwei-Pfosten-Rack wird nicht mit dem
Gewicht der Library.
