Positioning The System Unit; Lowering The System Unit Leveling Legs - Quantum Scalar i6000 Installation Manual

Positioning the System Unit

For more information on location specifications, see the Scalar i6000 Planning Guide.
1 Verify the placement of the system unit.
The control module is at the left end of a multi-module library.
Note
2 Verify the following:
• There is an AC outlet within 10 feet (3.05 m) of the control module's location.
• There is adequate clearance for the access and service doors.
• All raised floor tiles have been cut out accordingly to accommodate the power, SCSI, Fibre, and
Ethernet cables to any of the modules.
3 Position the system unit in its intended location.
4 Verify that the system unit is positioned correctly.
5 Ensure that the leveling legs are not resting on tiles that will need to be raised to accommodate cables
after the system unit has been installed.

Lowering the System Unit Leveling Legs

Required tools: 24 mm open end wrench, 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench.
1 On only the four outer edge corner legs of the system unit, use the 24 mm open end wrench to loosen
the four locking nuts.
CAUTION
2 Lower the four outer edge corner legs by hand until the legs touch the floor. You may need to use the
6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench to turn the legs if the threads do not turn freely.
To ensure even weight distribution on the legs, it is very important that the
Note
lowered legs be brought into contact with the floor without lifting the system
unit. You can verify whether a leg is in contact with the floor by attempting
to slide a piece of paper underneath it.

If you do not loosen the locking nuts, you may strip the threads on the
leveling legs during movement.
