1 Unpacking the library
This chapter contains the following sections:
• the section called “Selecting an installation location”
• the section called “Preparing for the installation”
• the section called “Unpacking the library”
• the section called “Setting up the library”
• the section called “Storing the packaging materials”
CAUTION:
Only qualified HP field service engineers should unpack the HP StorageWorks
ESLE-Seriestapelibrary.
Selecting an installation location
When choosing an installation site for the HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series tape library,
consider the requirements described in:
• the section called “Floor space”
• the section called “Floor clearance”
• the section called “Floor strength and inclination”
• the section called “Power and grounding”
• the section called “Environmental conditions”
NOTE:
These requirements are also described in the
HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape
Library users guide
.

14 Unpacking the library

NOTE:
If you are installing a Cross Linked (CLM) library, each cabinet must have appropriate
space in front and in back of it, and it must have about 1 inch (2.5 cm) between it and
its adjacent cabinet(s).
Floor clearance
The library has a floor clearance of 0.75 inch (19 mm). Place the library on a level,
uncarpeted floor free of defects.
Floor strength and inclination
The floor at the installation site must be rated at 250 lb/ft2(1221 kg/m2). This is
sufficient to support a fully loaded library.
The floor must be level to within 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) over a 6 ft by 6 ft (1.83 m by
1.83 m) area.
Ventilation
Do not place the library directly over any cooling vents. Placing the library over cooling
ventswillresultinan“outoftemp”reportinginthelibrarylog.
Power and grounding
For the United States and Canada, one or two UL/CSA-certified power cords are
supplied with each library. Each power cord uses a 14/3 SJT cord, a L6-20P plug, and
an IEC-C320 C19 female connector (see Figure 2).

The library is rated 200-240V~, 50-60Hz.
HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Library unpacking and installation guide 15

Power requirements may require modification of the facility’s existing power capabilities
by a qualified electrician. The required wall outlet for the United States and Canada is
rated at 250VAC 16 amps (see Figure 3).

Figure3Walloutlet(NEMAL6-20Rrated250VAC20amps)
Two dedicated wall outlets and a 20-amp circuit breaker are required to provide power
to the library. Outside of North America, replace the supplied power cord(s) with
harmonized3x1.5mm
2power cord(s) that meet local requirements, and install the
appropriate wall outlet.
WARNING!
This product canonlybeusedwithanHPapprovedpowercordforyourspecific
geographic region. Use of a non-HP approved power cord may result in: 1) not
meeting individual country specific safety requirements; 2) insufficient conductor
ampacity that could result in overheating with potential personal injury and/or property
damage; and 3) an unapproved power cord could fracture resulting in the internal
contacts being exposed, which potentially could subject the user to a shock hazard. HP
disclaims all liability in the event a non-HP approved power cord is used.
NOTE:
More information on the electrical requirements is provided in the
HP StorageWorks
ESL E-Series Pre-Installation Site Survey
.
WARNING!
To avoid damage to the library and risk to personal safety, the library must be
connected to a grounded electrical outlet.
16 Unpacking the library

Environmental conditions
The installation site must have the following environmental conditions:
•Humidity: 20%-80% noncondensing
•Temperature: 15ºC to 32ºC (59ºF to 90ºF)
•Altitude: sea level to 10,000 feet
These environmental conditions apply when the library is in operation.
NOTE:
For additionallibraryspecifications (including environmental requirements during
shipping and storage), see the
HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Library users guide .
Preparing for the installation
Preparations needed before installing the library are described in:
• the section called “Tools for installation”
• the section called “Taking ESD precautions”
Tools for installation
These tools are needed for unpacking and setting up the library:
•#2 Phillips screwdriver
•Snips for metal bands
•Safety goggles
•Ratchet with 3/8-inch socket (or 3/8-inch open-end wrench)
•Ratchet with 3/4-inch socket (or 3/4-inch open-end wrench)
•Ratchet with 7/16-inch socket (or 7/16-inch open-end wrench)
•Carpenter’s level
NOTE:
A 12-inch socket extension is recommended for removing the counter-weight
shipping restraint.
HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Library unpacking and installation guide 17

Taking ESD precautions
CAUTION:
Some components within the library contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging
these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following
precautions.
•Keep the library powered off during all installation procedures.
•Keep the library power cord plugged into a grounded power outlet, except when
working with AC electrical components.
•Avoid contact with power supplies, EMI filters, and AC electrical components
while the library is connected to a power outlet.
•Use an antistatic wrist strap.
•Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for
installation.
•Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their
protectiveshippingbagoronanantistaticmat.
•Avoid touching connectors and other components.
NOTE:
Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative humidity
and are more likely to produce static electricity.
Unpacking the library
This section explains how to unpack the library and move it to its final installation
location. The library is shipped in packing materials designed to protect it from damage
during transit. By following these instructions, you help ensure that the library will
continue to be safeguarded after it arrives at the installation site.
The unpacking procedures include the following:
• the section called “Receiving the library”
•thesec
tion called “Unpacking the library”
• the section called “Moving the library to the installation site”
• thesectioncalled“Settingupthelibrary”
•these
ction called “Storing the packaging materials”
18 Unpacking the library

Receiving the library
Unpack the library as close to the installation site as possible. Inspect the shipping
pallet and carton for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Report any
damage to the shipper.
WARNING!
Libraries weigh between 1,135 pounds (515 kg) and 1,459 pounds (662 kg),
depending on their configuration. At least two people should move and install the
library.
Unpacking the library
To unpack the library:
1. Notethesideofthepalletwherethelibrarywillbeunloaded.Thelibrarymaybe
unloaded from only the ramp side of the pallet (see Figure 4).
2. Verify the minimum floor space requirements (see Figure 4).
NOTE:
Figure 4 shows the minimum floor space required by the library at its
unboxing site. Unboxing the library requires a minimum of 3 feet (91
cm)onallsides.Thesideusedfortheunloadingramprequires10feet
(3.05 m). The minimum height required for unpacking the library is 85
inches (2.16 meters).
