Security
The equipment must be located so that access to the equipment can be controlled and monitored. Consider all these recommended security measures when you’re
determining where to locate your tape library.
Library location
You are responsible for the security of this library, the cartridges that are contained within the library, and shelf-resident cartridges. To prevent unauthorized access
to data, IBM recommends locating the library and all shelf-resident cartridges in an area where access is controlled.
Onsite security measures
You are also responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems
and communication facilities.

Power source
AC Power Voltage: 100 - 240 VAC
Line Frequency: 50 - 60 Hz
Library is located near AC outlet.
The AC power cord must be always easily accessible.
Air quality
Place the library in an area with minimal sources of particulate contamination.
Excessive dust and debris can damage tapes and tape drive.
Avoid areas near frequently used doorways, open windows, fans, air conditioners, copier rooms, stacks of supplies that collect dust, printers,
and smoke-filled rooms.
Do not store paper supplies next to the library.
Place the library away from high-traffic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted. Carpeting harbors dust and walking on the carpet can cause the
carpet fibers and the dust to become airborne.
Close the machine covers to minimize any contamination from airborne particles.
