ECEIVING AND
Before the library arrives, make sure that your receiving and storage areas
can accommodate the pallet and boxes used to ship the library and its
components. The library is shipped in multiple boxes: one for each library
frame and others for the library components such as drives, controllers
(RIMs), TeraPack magazines, and media. The boxes are shipped on pallets.
The following table provides the approximate dimensions and weights of
the pallet and boxes used to ship the library.

c. Each TeraPorter ships in a separate crate.
d. Assumes multiple components are shipped together on a single pallet. Components may also be shipped individually.
e. The size and weight of the component pallet depends on the number and type of components shipped. To calculate the
approximate weight of all the components, add 12 lb (5.4 kg) for each drive, 5 lb (2.3 kg) for each TeraPack magazine full of media, 5 lb
(2.3 kg) for each RIM, and 4 lb (1.8 kg) for each power supply.
In preparation for the installation, locate the accessory box, which may
have shipped and arrived separately from the library. This box contains
option activation keys, the library documentation kit, and additional
information that you should read before the library is installed. Make sure
that you do not lose any of the option activation keys.

Acclimating the Library

Allow time for the library to acclimate to the working environment when
you move it from the loading dock.

environment, it must be acclimated in its packaging for at least 24 hours before
