Choosing a Location
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
Table 4-1. Location criteria
Criteria Definition
Room temperature 10° - 35° C (50° - 95° F )
Power source
v AC power voltage: 100-127 VAC; 200-240 VAC (4 - 2 A)
Note: The 4U library requires two separate power sources to implement redundant
power.
v Line frequency: 50-60 Hz
Place the library near an AC outlet. The AC power cord is the product’s main AC
disconnect device and must be easily accessible at all times.
Air quality The library should be placed in an area with minimal sources of particulate contamination.
Avoid areas near frequently used doors and walkways, stacks of supplies that collect dust,
printers, and smoke-filled rooms. Excessive dust and debris can damage tapes and tape
drives.
