Unpacking the Library

To install a desktop or rack mounted 2U library or 4U library, perform the
procedures in this chapter in the order they are presented.
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
Definition
10° - 35° C (50° - 95° F )
v AC power voltage: 100-127 VAC; 200-240 VAC (4 - 2 A)
Note: The 4U library requires two separate power sources to implement redundant
power.
v Line frequency: 50-60 Hz
Place the library near an AC outlet. The AC power cord is the product's main AC
disconnect device and must be easily accessible at all times.
The library should be placed in an area with minimal sources of particulate contamination.
Avoid areas near frequently used doors and walkways, stacks of supplies that collect dust,
printers, and smoke-filled rooms. Excessive dust and debris can damage tapes and tape
drives.
15-80 % RH non-condensing
v Back: Minimum of 15.4 cm (6 inches)
v Front: Minimum of 30.8 cm (12 inches)
v Sides: Minimum of 5.08 cm (2 inches)
Standard 19-inch rack with:
v 2U (63.5 mm/3.5 in.) of clearance for a 2U library
v 4U (177.8 mm/7 in.) of clearance for a 4U library
Rackmounting the library is optional.
Note: If the temperature in the room where the library will be installed varies by
15° C (30° F) from the room where the library was stored, allow the library
to acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before
unpacking it from the shipping container.
1. Before you begin, clear a work surface to unpack the library.
2. Open the shipping container and carefully remove the shipping materials from
the top of the library. Remove the accessory package and set it aside.
Important: Once the drive is unpacked, save and store the packaging materials
for future moves or shipping. If you discard the original packaging
materials, you may need to purchase packaging materials if you
wish to move or store your library.
