surroundings if the floor is not adequately reinforced. Inadequate floor
reinforcement can allow the library to sag, causing misalignment of the frames and
robotic motion failures.
Weight-Distribution Plate If you would like to install the library on a
weight‐distributing plate, Spectra Logic recommends a steel plate with the
minimum dimensions of 36 x 30 x 0.25 inches (91.4 x 76.2 x 0.6 cm). Plates
should be placed under the feet at the front and back of each frame
junction and under the outer feet of the right‐most and left‐most frames of
a multi‐frame library.
Flooring Type The floor where the library is to be installed must be level, and
must be hard flooring, such as cement or tile — do not install the library on
carpeting. This requirement is particularly important when installing a multi‐
frame library, because all frames must be precisely aligned. Carpeting also
increases the risk of static discharge when operating the library.
Caution
The library must be installed on a level, hard-surfaced floor such as cement or tile.
A small amount of floor unevenness can be compensated for using the
levelers on each library frame.
