Quantum PX720 Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6444602-04 A01 March 2005 Introduction 0 The Quantum PX720 is an automated storage and retrieval library consisting of up to 20 tape drives and up to 642 SDLT or 726 LTO tape cartridges bins (figure 1). This document explains how to unpack the Quantum PX720. Once the library is unpacked and moved to the desired installation location, set up the library using the instructions in the Quantum PX720 Series User’s Guide.
Quantum PX720 Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6444602-04 A01 March 2005 Selecting an Installation Location 0 When choosing an installation site for the PX720, consider the following requirements: • Floor space • Floor clearance • Floor strength and inclination • Power and grounding • Environmental conditions These requirements are also described in the Quantum PX720 Series User’s Guide. Floor Space 0 Figure 2 shows the minimum floor space required by the Quantum PX720.
Quantum PX720 Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6444602-04 A01 March 2005 Floor Clearance 0 Floor Strength and Inclination 0 The library has a floor clearance of 0.75 inch (19 mm). Place the library on a level, uncarpeted floor free of defects. The floor at the installation site must be rated at 250 lb/ft2 (1221 kg/m2). This is sufficient to support a fully loaded PX720 library. The floor must be level to within 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) over a 6-foot-by-6-foot (1.83-meter-by-1.83-meter) area.
Quantum PX720 Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6444602-04 A01 March 2005 Environmental Conditions The installation site must have the following environmental conditions: 0 • Humidity: 20%-80% non-condensing • Temperature: 15°C-32°C (59°F-90°F) • Altitude: sea level to 3048 meters (10,000 feet) These environmental conditions apply when the library is in operation.
Quantum PX720 Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6444602-04 A01 March 2005 • Avoid contact with power supplies, EMI filters, and AC electrical components while the library is connected to a power outlet. • Use an antistatic wrist strap. • Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for installation. • Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.
Quantum PX720 Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6444602-04 A01 March 2005 Unboxing the Library 0 To unbox the library: 1 Check the packing list and verify that all components have been received. Note: If any part is missing or damaged (look for scuffs on the antistatic bag), contact your authorized reseller. 2 Choose the unloading side. The PX720 may be unloaded from only the right side of the pallet. 3 Verify the minimum floor space requirements (see figure 5).
