Appendix C — Specifications
Service Access Requirements
Recommended clearance Providing 3 ft (0.9 m) of clearance on each side
of the library is highly recommended.
Minimum Clearance A minimum of 2 ft (0.6 m) of clearance is required on
the left and right ends of the library to provide service access to the library.
If data center equipment is on rolling racks and can be easily moved to
provide 2 ft (0.6 m) of clearance on each end of the library, then having
equipment adjacent to the ends of the library is acceptable. In addition, a
minimum of 2 ft (0.6 m) of clearance at the front and back of the main
frame and each drive expansion frame is required for airflow and service
and operator access.
Important
Providing 3 ft (0.9 m) of clearance on each side of the library is highly recommended.
Refer to the Spectra T950V Library Site Preparation Guide for detailed
information about space and access requirements.
