Note:
1. For Models L22, D22, L23, D23, L52, D52, L53, D53, S24, S54, and the service bays, the
size of a clearance is measured by its depth from the outside of the frame and its width
along the library. At the ends of the library, the depth of the service clearance is
measured from the front of the library to the rear. In Figure 19 on page 105, B refers to
the distance (2737 mm or 107.8 in.) that is the total service clearance between the front
and the rear of the library.
2. For Models L32 and D32, the size of a clearance is measured by its depth from the
outside of the frame and its width along the library. At the ends of the library, the
depth of the service clearance is measured from the front of the library to the rear. In
Figure 20 on page 106, B refers to the distance (3044 mm or 119.8 in.) that is the total
service clearance between the front and the rear of the library.
3. For libraries with service clearance on the right end only (as you face the front door),
visual access is also required on the left end as determined by the local service team.
This visual access allows the IBM Service Representative to see the 2-character display
on the left side of the cartridge accessor.
