Chapter 3 — Installation Preparation
Placement with Existing Equipment
It may be necessary to install the library next to previously installed
equipment in your data center. Servicing the library's interior components
is most easily accomplished from the right side (when viewed from the
front). For this reason, Spectra Logic recommends placing the library so
that its right side is accessible. See
the minimum recommended clearances around the library.
Special servicing arrangements can be made to suit your equipment
configuration. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the
placement of your library in your data center, contact Spectra Logic
Professional Services. See
Installed Library Weight
The following table shows the maximum weight of the installed library
when fully loaded with media, power supply modules, QIPs, and the
maximum number of tape drives.
This weight does not include the weight of the rack mounting hardware.
The actual weight varies, depending on the number of drives, QIPs, power
supplies, and TeraPack containers, as well as media, installed in the library.
After the installation is complete, Spectra Logic recommends that you do
not move the library. If you must move the library, contact Spectra Guard
Technical Support for recommendations.
