|
| near frequently used doors and walkways, stacks of | |
|
| supplies that collect dust, and | |
|
| CAUTION: Excessive dust and debris can damage tapes | |
|
| and tape drives. | |
|

| Adequate | Standalone configuration — free standing or against a | |
| clearance | wall/desk: |
|
|
| Back | 56 cm (22 in.) for cooling and service. |
|
| Front | 86 cm (34 in.) for operator access. |
|
| Sides | 56 cm (22 in.) for removal of the external |
|
|

|
|

|

|
|
| |
|
| Front | 86 cm (34 in.) for operator access. |
|
| Height | For ease of use, install the library so the |
|
|
| bottom is |
|
|
| floor. Do not install the library in the bottom |
|
|
| rail position because of clearance. |
