Introduction 0

The ATL ATL P4000 is an automated storage and retrieval library consisting of up to 10 tape drives and up to 322 tape cartridges (see

figure 1

This document explains how to unpack the ATL P4000. Once the library is unpacked and moved to the desired installation location, set up the library using the instructions in the ATL P4000 and ATL P7000 User’s Guide (PN 6434003).

Selecting an Installation Location 0

When choosing an installation site for the ATL P4000, consider the following requirements:

• Floor space

• Floor clearance

• Floor strength and inclination

• Power and grounding

• Environmental conditions

These requirements are also described in the ATL P4000 and ATL P7000 User’s Guide (PN 6434003).

Figure 3 Power Supply Cord

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/ft (1221 kg/m

). This is sufficient to support a fully loaded ATL P4000

library.

The floor must be level to within 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) over a 6-foot-by-6foot (1.83-meter-by-1.83-meter) area.

For the United States and Canada, one or two UL/CSA certified power cords are furnished. Each uses a 14/3 SJT cord, a 5-20P plug, and an IEC-C320 C19 female connector (see figure 3

Figure 4 Wall Outlet

The library is rated 100-240V~, 50-60Hz, 12A-8A, 1200W.

The library power requirements may require modification of the facilities existing power capabilities by a qualified electrician. The required wall outlet for the United States and Canada is rated at 125V 20A (see figure 4

Line

The dedicated wall outlet and a 20 amp circuit breaker must provide power to the ATL P4000 library only. Outside North America, replace the supplied power cord with a harmonized 3 x 1.5 mm

power cord that is approved by the country where used, and install the appropriate wall outlet. More information on the electrical requirements is provided in the ATL P4000 Pre-Installation Site Survey

Instructions.

Caution: The ATL P4000 library must be connected to a grounded

electrical outlet.

Selecting an Installation Location 5

Environmental Conditions

The installation site must have the following environmental conditions:

• Humidity: 20%-80% non-condensing

• Temperature: 15°C-32°C (59°F-90°F)

• Altitude: sea level to 10,000 feet

• Air: free of airborne contaminates; e.g., dust, paper particles

These environmental conditions apply when the library is in operation.

Note: For additional library specifications (including

environmental requirements during shipping and storage), see appendix A in the ATL P4000 and ATL P7000 User’s Guide (PN 6434003).

Preparing for the Installation 0

Before you begin the installation procedure, make the following preparations:

Providing Necessary Tools and Equipment

Taking ESD Precautions

• Providing necessary tools and equipment for installation

• Taking ESD precautions

Provide the following tools for unpacking the library:

•Scissors

• Ratchet with 15/16 inch socket (or 15/16 inch open-end wrench)

Provide the following tools for removing the shipping restraints:

• #2 Phillips® screwdriver

•Tie wrap

Provide the following tools for leveling the library:

• 3/4-inch open-end wrench

• Carpenter’s level

Some components within the ATL P4000 library contain static-

sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following precautions:

Document 6434005-02, Ver. 2, Rel. 0

August 2002

• Keep the library turned off during all installation procedures.

• Keep the library power cord plugged into a grounded power

outlet except when working with AC electrical components.

• 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.

• Avoid touching connectors and other components.

Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have

lower relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.

Unpacking the Library 0

This section explains how to unpack the library and move it to its final installation location. The ATL P4000 is shipped in packing materials designed to protect it from damage during transit. By following these instructions, you help ensure that the library will continue to be safeguarded after it arrives at the installation site.

The following are the major steps in this procedure:

• Receiving the library

• Unboxing the library

• Positioning the library

• Unpacking the library

• Leveling the library

Receiving the Library 0

Unboxing the Library 0

Unpack the library as close to the installation site as possible. Inspect the shipping pallet and carton for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Report any damage to the shipper.

Caution: The ATL P4000 weighs approximately 1072 pounds

(486 kg), without drives. Each drive weighs approximately 13.5 lbs. It is strongly advised to use at least two people to move and install the library.

To unbox the library:

1 Choose the unloading side. The ATL P4000 may be unloaded from

either the right or left side of the pallet.

2 Verify the minimum floor space requirements.

Note: Uncrating the library requires a minimum of 3 feet (91 cm)

on all sides. For the side being used for the ramp, uncrating the library requires 9 feet (2.74 m). Figure 5

shows the minimum floor space required by the ATL P4000 at its uncrating site. The minimum height required for unpacking the ATL P4000 is 85 inches (2.16 meters).
