Warning:
All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack
having a main protective earthing (grounding) terminal,
and power must be supplied via an industrial plug and
socket-outlet and/or an appliance coupler complying with
IEC 60309 (or an equivalent national standard) and having
a protective earth (ground) conductor with a cross
sectional area of at least 1.5 mm

(14 AWG).
To ensure proper airflow and access space, Allow 60 cm
(24 inches) in the front and back of the library.
Note:
Pay attention to where the operator panel is positioned in the
rack for optimum usability.
Note:
Without these Ethernet cables connected, the FC I/O
blades will not work.
