Modules

PowerVault ML6000 libraries are modular, and you can increase the size

at any time. The three base systems for the PowerVault ML6000 library

are as follows:

• ML6010 CM (5U rack height)
• ML6020 CM (14U rack height)
• ML6030 CM (23U rack height)

These configurations can be scaled up by adding PowerVault ML6000

EM 9U Library Expansion Modules to a maximum rack height of 41U. 9U

Library Expansion Modules provide additional capacity as your storage

and tape drive requirements change. See

Figure 4

on page 20 for an

illustration of library scalability. For information on installing, removing,

and replacing modules, see

Installing, Removing, and Replacing

on

page 210.

Warning:

All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack

having a main protective earthing (grounding) terminal,

and power must be supplied via an industrial plug and

socket-outlet and/or an appliance coupler complying with

IEC 60309 (or an equivalent national standard) and having

a protective earth (ground) conductor with a cross-

sectional area of at least 1.5 mm2 (14 AWG).

To ensure proper airflow and access space, allow 60 cm (24

inches) in the front and back of the library.

Caution:

ML6030 (and higher) CM and Expansion Modules require

professional installation. Professional installation may

have been included with your purchase. Please call

1-800-945-3355 to schedule professional installation of

your PowerVault library.
