1.2 Drive Module
The drive module is a module unit that contains the drive for recording data and external interface. When, for
example, a drive fails, maintenance replacement is carried out in units of drive modules. The host interface
supports the Fibre Channel (FC) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).

1.4 Power Supply Unit (PSU)
The power supply unit (PSU) distributes the power that is supplied from an external power source to the
LT260.
Figure 1.7 Power supply unit (PSU)
Table 1.1 Meanings of each LED
Each PSU receives 100VAC – 240VAC. It converts AC power to DC power for the internal component, such as
Backplane, DC-DC Board and Library Controller.
Each unit can supply power to all of the drives and the robots module.
The LT260 Base Module is equipped with two PSUs as standard, and can operate using one PSU should the
other PSU fail.
The Expansion Module does not provide multiple PSUs as standard.

2.2 Installation Area
It is necessary to secure a place for the maintenance area as shown in Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1 Maintenance area
•Be careful not to have the rack to fall due to the weight of the LT260 during maintenance.
•The maintenance area of the width direction is dependent on the size of the rack.
Reference: the minimum width of our rack is 590mm
•Make sure to have ventilation holes for cooling on the front and rear doors of the rack.
If the door has the specifications with no ventilation holes of perforated metal or mesh metal, make sure
that the temperature inside the rack does not exceed the temperature limit.

2.2.1 Location Requirements
Table 2.2 Location requirements
•The library was designed for rack installation and must be installed using the provided rack rails.
Installation on a table top or other similar surface could result in library operation errors.
•The library is a heavy load. Please note the height of the installing position so that the rack should not
fall by weight.
•Select a rack with access to the host server.
•Choose a location that meets the criteria in Table 2.2.
Criteria Definition
Rack requirements Standard 19-inch rack with an appropriate # of U’s (Rack Units) of clearance for the planned
module quantity
Rack space
requirements 6U for the Base Module and 6U for the Expansion Module
Room temperature 10-35º C (50-95º F)
Power source
•AC Power Voltage: 100-240 VAC
•Frequency: 50/60 Hz
•Library Located near AC Outlet(s)
The AC power cord is the library’s main AC disconnect device and must be easily removable
at all times.
Air quality
•Place the library in an area with minimal sources of particulate contamination
•Avoid areas near frequently used doors and walkways, stacks of supplies that collect
dust, printers, and smoke-filled rooms
•Excessive dust and debris can damage tapes and tape drive
Humidity 20-80 percent RH non-condensing

2.2.2 Notes of Mounting in the Rack
•The rack must be a 19 inch rack and meet the EIA standard universal pitch.
•The dimension of the prop for fixing the rack must meet Figure 2.2 and Figure 2.3.
•The dimensions of the protruding objects such as props in the rack must meet Figure 2.2 and Figure 2.3.
•The hole geometries of the props must be 9.5 mm or larger corner holes, 9mm corner holes, or 6.8mm
round holes.
•There must be a vent hole in the anteroposterior position and the library must be coolable enough.
(The temperature in the rack not to exceed the limited temperature. Refer to "Operating" under "Tempera-
ture" in Table 2.1 for details.)
•Take measures to ensure the physical stability of the entire rack (including the pulled out status of
modules from a rack). If the rack is equipped with the anti-toppling feature, be sure to use it. Also, mount
the LT260 in the lowest location possible. If the LT260 is mounted in combination with other devices,
heavier devices must be mounted in the lower locations. If the LT260 is mounted together with other
devices the total height of this library and other devices must be under 24U.
