Chapter 2. Planning

The TS4500 tape library requires an environment able to accommodate the
appropriate height, weight, and width in addition to other physical specifications.
Use the Planning section as a reference for the on-site requirements for optimum
operation of the TS4500 tape library. The TS4500 tape library is installed by an IBM
service representative.

Height and length of the frames of the library

This topic provides the height of TS4500 tape library frames to help plan for
shipment and installation.
Each frame of the TS4500 tape library has a set of casters and four leveling jack
screws. The casters and leveling jack screws that attach to the TS4500 tape library
affect its height.
v The nominal height from the bottom of the jack screws to the top of the frame is
v The shipping height of the library (on its casters and with jack screws raised and
v The height of a frame with a shuttle connection is 2 275 mm (89.57 in.).
v The height of a frame with a top rack is 2 320 mm (91.34 in.).
For detailed information about the physical specifications of each library frame,
refer to the topic about the frame model physical specifications. To calculate the
length of your fully configured library, refer to the topic about clearance
specifications for the library.

Frame model physical specifications

The physical specifications by frame model provide detailed information about the
height and weight of frames in various configurations. Use this information when
planning for TS4500 tape library in your data storage environment.
