Floor Clearance 4The stand-alone P1000 has a floor clearance of 0.75 in. (1.9 cm). Place
the library on a level, uncarpeted floor free of defects.
Floor Strength and
Inclination 4
The floor at the installation site must be rated at 250 lb/ft2(1221 kg/
m2). This is sufficient to support a fully loaded P1000 on the floor or in
a rack.
The floor at the installation site must be level to within 0.25 in (6.4 mm)
over a 6 ft by 6 ft (1.8 m by 1.8 m) area.
Overhead Clearance 4To remove the P1000 enclosure, there must be a minimum clearance of
24 in. (61 cm) above the library. When combined with the height of the
library (21 in./53 cm), this is a total of 45 in. (114.5 cm) from the floor
(stand-alone library) or bottom of the slide (rack-mount library).
Power and Grounding 4The library auto-ranging power supply accepts single-phase, 90 VAC
to 264 VAC input power at 47 Hz to 63 Hz.

Rack Current Rating Consideration 5
Consider the current rating of the rack before installing more than one
P1000 library. The P1000 library is rated 6A/3A (120V/230V). This
means that no more than two libraries can be installed in a typical
15A/120V rack.
If other equipment is installed in the rack, determine the total current
rating of all the equipment before adding the P1000 library to the rack.
Grounding 5
The P1000 must be connected to a grounded power outlet. If the
library is rack-mounted, the rack must also be grounded.
Temperature 5
The rack temperature should be less than 90qF (32qC).
Environmental
Requirements 5
The installation site (stand-alone library) or the interior of the rack
(rack-mount library) must meet the following environmental
requirements:
‡humidity: 20% to 80%, non-condensing
‡temperature: 59qF to 90qF (15qC to 32qC)
‡altitude: sea level to 10,000 feet (3,033 meters)

Installing the Slide Assembly in the Rack 13
Installing the Slide Assembly in the
Rack 8
If you are installing a rack-mount library, install the slide assembly in
the rack before proceeding to “Removing the Library from the Pallet”
on page 22.
This procedure consists of the following steps:
‡verifying that the rack meets the necessary requirements
‡determining the mounting position of the slide assembly within
the rack
‡mounting the slide assembly in the rack
‡adjusting the slide assembly to allow for required clearances
Warning: Use safe lifting practices when moving the slide assembly
or the library. The slide assembly weighs about 25 lbs
(11.25 kg) and its size and construction make it awkward to
handle. The library weighs 89 lbs (40 kg); it must be lifted
with assistance. Failure to follow these guidelines may
result in equipment damage or personal injury.
Warning: When installing the library and other devices in the rack,
determine the weight of each device and position the
heaviest devices lower in the rack. If the library is the first
device to be installed, place it near the bottom of the rack.
Verifying the Rack
Requirements 8
Before installing the slide assembly in the rack, verify that the rack
meets the following requirements.
Rack Current Rating Consideration 8
Consider the current rating of the rack before installing more than one
P1000 library. The P1000 library is rated 6A/3A (120V/230V). This
means that no more than two libraries can be installed in a typical
15A/120V rack.
If other equipment is installed in the rack, determine the total current
rating of all the equipment before adding the P1000 library to the rack.

14 Installing the Slide Assembly in the Rack
Grounding 8
The P1000 must be connected to a grounded power outlet. If the
library is rack-mounted, the rack must also be grounded.
Temperature 8
The rack temperature should be less than 90qF (32qC).
Determining the
Mounting Position 8
To determine the mounting position of the slide assembly within the
rack:
Procedure
1Locate the desired mounting position for the library (see figure 9).
The library and slide assembly require at least 21 in. (54 cm or 12
rack units) of vertical clearance. To ensure stability, mount the
library low in the rack.
Figure 9 Positioning the
Slide Assembly
As indicated in figure 9, the bottom edge of each slide assembly
bracket must line up with the end of a rack unit.

Procedure (continued)
2If the rack retma rail holes are not threaded, attach the appropriate
threaded clips to the holes that correspond to:
‡the mounting bracket tabs (front and back)
‡the locking bracket tabs (front only)
‡the temporary support screws (front and back)
3Insert a temporary support screw into each retma rail, just below
the desired position of the slide assembly bracket.
Use four of the 10-32 x 3/4 in. slide mounting screws as temporary
support screws.
4Make sure the support screws are level with one another.
Leave the screws extended out of the retma rails at least 0.625 in.
(16 mm) so they will support the slide assembly mounting brackets
during installation.
Installing the Slide
Assembly in the Rack 9
To install the slide assembly in the rack (see figure 10 on page 16):
Procedure
1Loosen (but do not remove) the nuts holding the rear mounting
brackets to the slide assembly.
2Measure the depth of the rack, from the outside edge of the front
retma rail to the outside edge of the rear retma rail.
3Adjust the rear mounting brackets so that the distance from the
front mounting brackets to the rear mounting brackets is slightly
greater than the depth of the rack.
4Insert the slide assembly into the rack:
aLift the slide assembly and tilt it sideways.
bInsert the back end of the slide assembly into the front of the
rack, keeping the slide assembly above the temporary support
screws.
cWhen the rear brackets clear the rear retma rails, turn the slide
assembly right side up.
dPlace the slide assembly in the rack so that each bracket rests
on a temporary support screw.
5Secure the front mounting brackets to the front retma rails, using
four 10-32 x 3/4 in. screws from the accessories kit.
