Power Requirements; Chassis Grounding - Spectra Logic T-Series Spectra T200 Supplementary Manual

Chapter 2 — Site Requirements
Spectra T200 and T380 The library must be installed in a standard 19-inch,
4-post rack to ensure stability. The rack must be located on a level, hard-
surfaced floor such as cement or tile. Do not place the rack on a carpeted
floor or anywhere else that poses risk for static discharge that could
damage your library or its drives.
Spectra T680 The library is installed in a rack from the factory. The rack
must be located on a level, hard-surfaced floor such as cement or tile. Do
not place the rack on a carpeted floor or anywhere else that poses risk for
static discharge that could damage your library or its drives.

Power Requirements

The library comes with dual AC power inputs. The standard configuration
uses only one of these inputs. The 2N power supply redundancy option,
which must be purchased separately, uses both inputs. Each AC input
should be connected to a separate circuit, which allows for failover in the
event of a power failure in one of the circuits. The failover feature requires
the 2N power redundancy option.
The building branch circuit feeding the library requires a circuit breaker
rated at 15 Amps. See
requirements.

Chassis Grounding

To ensure proper grounding of the library chassis, one of the following
conditions must be met:
Risk of electrical shock. To prevent the possibility of electrical shock, install cord

locks on the AC power cords and a permanent grounding wire between the chassis
and earth ground.

Note: Adequate electrical cabling must be completed before the arrival
of the field engineer on site for the library installation.
Cord locks must be installed on the AC power cords at the library. The
supply end of each AC power cord and the AC power source outlets
must have locking connectors.
– or –
If your site does not have locking connectors on the AC power source
outlets, you must attach a permanent grounding wire connected to
earth ground to one of the AC switch plates on the back of the library.
