The floor on which the TS4500 tape library is installed must be able to support:
v Up to 4.8 kilograms per square centimeter (68.6 pounds per square inch) of point
v Up to 211 kilograms per square meter (43.4 pounds per square foot) of overall
The number of point loads that is exerted depends on the number of frames that
make up the library. There are four point loads per frame (at the corners of each
frame).
Delivery route
The TS4500 tape library must be delivered using a planned route. Guidelines for
planning the delivery route are specified in the "Delivery route" section.
Check the delivery route that the library must travel from your loading dock to the
installation location. Ensure that the library will fit through all doors, hallways,
and elevators.
You must remove the library from the pallet and place it at the final location before
you call your IBM Service Representative to arrange for the installation. Refer to
the instructions on the shipping carton for correct unpacking procedures.
Because of the size and weight of this product, the transportation of this
equipment must be performed by professional movers or riggers who are trained
to handle large heavy objects. The IBM-authorized service provider will only
perform minimal frame repositioning within the computer room, as needed, to
perform required service actions. (D006)
Security
The equipment must be located so that access to the equipment can be controlled
and monitored. Consider all of these recommended security measures when you
are determining where to locate your TS4500 tape library.
Library location
You are responsible for the security of the TS4500 tape library, the cartridges that
are contained within the library, and shelf-resident cartridges. To prevent
unauthorized access to data, IBM recommends locating the TS4500 tape library and
all shelf-resident cartridges in an area where access is controlled.
Locking mechanisms
The I/O stations have locking mechanisms that prevent you from opening an I/O
station door when the accessor is manipulating cartridges in a station. The library's
front door has a key lock. The key-lock is the same for every front door, and the
keys are shipped with the library. The side doors of the base frames (Lx5) also
have a key lock, which is the same key lock that is used for the front door. The
library's rear door has a different key lock. The key lock is the same for every rear
door and the keys are shipped with the library.
