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.
Caution: Do NOT unpack the Quantum PX720 unless you are a

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.

Floor Clearance 0 The library has a floor clearance of 0.75 inch (19 mm). Place the library on a
level, uncarpeted floor free of defects.
Floor Strength and Inclination
0
The floor at the installation site must be rated at 250 lb/ft2
(1221 kg/m
2
). 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.
Power and Grounding0 For the United States and Canada, two UL/CSA certified power cords are
furnished. Each uses a 14/3 SJT cord, a L6-20P plug, and an IEC-C320 C19

The library is rated 200-240V~, 50-60Hz.
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 250V 20A (see figure 4
).

Two dedicated wall outlets and a 20 amp circuit breaker are required to
provide power to the PX720 library. Outside North America, replace the
supplied power cord with a harmonized 3 x 1.5 mm
2
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 Quantum
PX720 Pre-Installation Site Survey Instructions.
Caution: The PX720 library must be connected to a grounded electrical
outlet.

Environmental Conditions
0
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 3048 meters (10,000 feet)
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
Quantum PX720 Series User’s Guide.
Preparing for the Installation 0
Before you begin the installation procedure in this section, make the following
preparations as described in these sections:
• Providing necessary tools and equipment for installation
• Taking ESD precautions
Providing Necessary Tools and Equipment
Taking ESD Precautions
Provide the following tools for unpacking the library:
0
0
• #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver
• Snips for metal bands
• Safety goggles
• 3/8 open-ended wrench or socket
• 3/4 inch open-end wrench (included in accessory kit)
• 3/16 in. Allen® wrench
• 7/16 inch wrench or socket
Provide the following tools for leveling the library:
• Carpenter’s level
Some components within the PX720 library contain static-sensitive parts. To
avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always
observe the following precautions:
• 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.
6 Preparing for the Installation
Quantum PX720 Unpacking and Installation Instructions
Document 6444602-03 A01
August 2004
• 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 PX720 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 Library0 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.
Warning: The Quantum PX720 with 20 tape drives weighs 1350 pounds
(612 kg). Two people are required to move and install the
library.

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
).
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 an additional 7 feet (2.13 m) for a total of 10
feet (3.05 m) on that side. Figure 5
shows the minimum floor
space required by the PX720 at its uncrating site. The
minimum height required for unpacking the PX720 is 85
inches (2.16 meters). The crate occupies a footprint of 48 x 56
in. (122 x 142 cm).

Cabling a Fibre Channel PX720 Library
Use the following procedure to connect the SCSI jumper cables, terminators,
and Ethernet cables to the tape drive cluster(s) and FC470(s).
• SCSI connectors 0 through 3 on the first FC470 are used to connect to tape
drives 0 through 3 and the library SCSI HBA.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 3 on the second FC470 are used to connect to
tape drives 4 through 7, if present.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 3 on the third FC470 are used to connect tape
drives 8 through 11.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 3 on the fourth FC470 are used to connect tape
drives 12 through 15.
• SCSI connectors 0 through 3 on the fifth FC470 are used to connect tape
drives 16 through 19.
Secure the SCSI cables from the FC470(s) to the card cage in the cable clamp
located on the right-hand side of the card cage. After you have completed the
SCSI connections from the FC470 bridges to the tape drives, close the back
access door on the library.
To cable a FC470 bridge to the tape drive cluster(s):
1 To connect the SCSI cables from the FC470 to the tape drives, see table 2
and figure 28
.
0
2 Route an Ethernet cable up through the base of the library and connect
the front Ethernet port located on the right side of the cabinet controller to
the local network (see figure 27
).
3 Connect an Ethernet cable from each tape drive cluster (E3) to it’s
corresponding FC470.

4 The SCSI, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel cables must be routed and stacked
in the right-hand clamps correctly so the back door will close. Route the
cables down through the cable channel on the right-hand side of the
library. Refer to figure 29
and figure 30 for cable diagrams illustrating the
correct cable placement.
Caution: Use care when handling the fibre optic cables. Do not
crimp or bend the cables.
