Chapter 3. Preparing the Library
27
Air Quality
Large quantities of airborne particles cause erratic operation of the drives and library.
The library comes with an intake air filter behind the front panel to reduce the amount
of airborne particulates entering the library.
The table below shows the maximum amount of particulate contamination per cubic
foot and cubic meter of air which the library’s filter can handle. If you are exceeding
these limits, filter the air in the room where you are using the library.
Rack Mount vs. Tabletop Configuration
The standard library configuration uses a 17-inch tabletop chassis. An optional rack
mounting kit is available, using faceplate extenders which extend beyond the width of
the standard front panel and cover the mounting ears on the library and the side rails
of the mounting rack.
Spectra Logic offers a rack mount upgrade kit that allows a user to convert a tabletop
library to either a white or black rack mount library. Contact your sales representative
for more information about these kits.
Installing in Enclosed Equipment Racks To use an enclosed rack for the library, you need
an enclosed rack mount model or an enclosed rack mount conversion kit. To identify
models compatible with enclosed racks, compare the part number from the library’s
serial number sticker (located on the back of the library) to the part number shown
below. Make sure that your library’s serial number contains an M or a 3 in the last
position (shown here).
9284AXXX-X-XM or 9284AXXX-X-X3
An M shown in the part number indicates a white enclosed rack mount model, and a 3
indicates a black enclosed rack mount model.
Spectra Logic offers an enclosed rack mount upgrade kit that allows a user to convert a
non-compatible library for both white and black enclosed rack mount models. Contact
your sales representative for more information about these kits.
