INSTALLATION AND DE-

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Adequate clearances must be provided around the LF 6600 during installation to prevent crimping and bending of cables and to ensure that future servicing can be performed safely. These clearances are also required to properly ventilate the LF 6600 and to provide operator access to the DOC and to the media access door for loading and unloading media.

CAUTION

When the LF 6600 is mounted in an equipment rack or cabinet, ensure that the internal temperature within the rack or cabinet does not exceed the operating limits as stated in the Product Specification and this document. When vertically stacked, these units require special attention at the top area where higher temperatures exist.

The LF 6600 must be connected to a power distribution system that has a direct connection to earth ground (Terminated Terra [ TT ] network/ground connected). This unit is not suitable for use on a floating ground (Interrupted Terra [ IT ] network).

Ensure the drive is connected to a power distribution system with adequate current-handling capacity.

The following table lists the clearances required to provide proper cooling air circulation, adequate access for cartridge loading and unloading, and full rack extension.
