Installation
Setting up the Tabletop Model
Library tabletop models require no mechanical assembly for mounting (see
Figure 2–1). Place the library on a desk, table, or other stable, horizontal surface.
Make sure the cooling grills at the front and the fans at the rear of the library are not
obstructed. Allow 18 inches (50 cm) of clearance at the front and rear for magazine
and hot-plug tape drive access, without the need to reposition the library.
NOTE:
To reduce tabletop clearance requirements, temporarily move the library forward or
rearward to access the hot-plug drive shoes and magazines, respectively.
