Library Weight
The
following
table
shows
the
size
and
weight
specifications
for
the
library
frames
and
other
components.
All
dimensions
and
weights
are
approximate.
To
calculate
the
approximate
weight
of
a
loaded
library,
calculate
the
total
weight
for
all
of
the
frames
and
then
add
the
weight
for
each
drive,
RIM,
and
power
supply,
plus
the
weight
of
each
TeraPack
magazine
full
of
cartridges.
To
calculate
the
dimensions
of
the
entire
library,
total
the
dimensions
for
each
frame
and
add
1.625
inches
to
account
for
the
outer
cover
panels
on
each
side
of
the
library.
When
calculating
space
requirements,
include
the
service
access
requirements
described
in
below.
