Installing the Archive

See “Installing a Stand-Alone 5U Control Module” in the 

Scalar i500 User’s 

Guide.

Note:

See also “Step 1: Unpack the Library” in the 

Scalar i500 Getting Started 

Guide.

Caution:

Save all packaging materials and the orange robot restraint 

assembly in case you need to move or ship the archive in the 

future.

1

Choose an optimal location for the archive. To avoid damage, the archive 

must be positioned in a stable location. See the 

System, Safety, and 

Regulatory Information Guide

 for more information on finding an optimal 

location for your archive.

WARNING:

The power outlet must be available near the archive and must 

be easily accessible.

• Make sure a power source (only of the type marked on the product 

label) is available. For power requirements, see the 

Scalar i500 User’s 

Guide

• Route any cables to avoid walking on them or pinching them with items 

placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to the cord at the 

wall receptacle and the point where the cord exits from the archive.

• Make sure that objects will not fall and liquids will not spill into the 

archive’s chassis through openings.

2

Following the unpacking instructions that came with the archive, remove 

the archive exterior packaging but leave the archive in the bottom 

packaging tray. 

3

Check the contents of the package against the packing slip.

4

Remove the interior packaging. 

Caution:

Be sure to remove the orange robot restraint assembly that 

secures the robot to the floor of the archive and the yellow 

strip in the I/E station. 

WARNING:

Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a 5U 

StorNext AEL500 Mini Archive weighs approximately 58 lbs 

(26.3 kg). A 9U EDLM Hardware Add-On Kit, without tape 

drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs 

(29.5 kg). To avoid serious injury, two people are required to 

safely lift the modules into position.
