Selecting an Installation Location
WARNING: Be sure to read and understand the instructions in the hp
StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Library Pre-Installation Site Survey before
selecting an installation site, moving, unpacking, or relocating the library.
Failure to follow the instructions could result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage.
When choosing an installation site for an HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape
Library, consider the following requirements:
• Floor space
• Floor clearance
• Floor strength and inclination
• Power and grounding
• Environmental conditions
• Physical distance between the library and a host workstation

Figure 2–4: Minimum floor space requirements (ESL9595)
Floor Clearance
The library has a nominal floor clearance of 0.75 inches (19.0 mm). Place the library
on a level, uncarpeted floor that is 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 inches (6.4 mm) over a 6 ft x 6 ft
(1.83 m x 1.83 m) area.

Power and Grounding
The tape library is rated for 100-240 VAC~, 50-60 Hz, 16 A-8 A, 1600 W service
(1200 W for the ESL9198 and ESL9322). A dedicated outlet and a 20 amp circuit
breaker must provide power to the tape library. In addition, it is necessary to use a
harmonized 3 x 1.5mm2 power cord approved by the associated country of use with
the appropriate wall outlet. For important safety information about hp products and
power cords, refer to the Important Safety Information booklet.

NOTE: The tape library contains redundant power supplies. As a result, two wall outlets
are required.
WARNING: The library must be connected to a grounded electrical outlet.
Failure to properly connect the library to a grounded electrical outlet could
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Selecting an Installation Location
Environmental Conditions
The installation site must provide the following environmental conditions during
normal library operation:
• Humidity: 20% to 80% non-condensing
• Temperature: 59°F to 90°F (10° to 32°C)
• Altitude: sea level to 10,000 feet (3,048 m)
NOTE: For additional library specifications refer to Appendix A of the hp StorageWorks
ESL9000 Series Tape Library Reference Guide
.
Physical Distance Between
the Library and a Host Workstation
The maximum physical distance between the library (SCSI bulkhead) and the SCSI
connector on a host workstation is dictated by the Low Voltage Differential (LVD) bus
characteristics (see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2).
NOTE: For the ESL9198, ESL9322, and most ESL9326/ESL9595 libraries, a SCSI bus
extender is used for bus 1 (robotic controller, drive 0, drive 1.) For the other drive pairs (D2, D3),
(D4, D5), (D6, D7), (D8, D9) no internal SCSI extender is used. See Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for
the maximum external SCSI bus cable lengths.
SCSI bus extenders can be purchased for other drive pairs.
