The Quantum PX720 is an automated storage and retrieval library consisting
of up to 20 tape drives and up to 642 SDLT or 726 LTO tape cartridges bins
(figure 1).
This document explains how to unpack the Quantum PX720. Once the library
is unpacked and moved to the desired installation location, set up the library
using the instructions in the Quantum PX720 Series User’s Guide.

4 Selecting an Installation Location
Selecting an Installation Location 0
When choosing an installation site for the PX720, consider the following
requirements:
• Floor space
• Floor clearance
• Floor strength and inclination
• Power and grounding
• Environmental conditions
These requirements are also described in the Quantum PX720 Series User’s
Guide.
Floor Space 0Figure 2 shows the minimum floor space required by the Quantum PX720.

Selecting an Installation Location 5
Floor Clearance 0The 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 0The floor at the installation site must be rated at 250 lb/ft2 (1221 kg/m2). This is sufficient to support a fully loaded PX720 library.
The floor must be level to within 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) over a 6-foot-by-6-foot
(1.83-meter-by-1.83-meter) area.
PowerandGrounding0For the United States and Canada, two UL/CSA certified power cords are
furnished. Each uses a 14/3 SJT cord, a L6-20P plug, and an IEC-C320 C19
female connector (see figure 3).
Figure 3 Power Supply
Cord
The library is rated 200-240V~, 50-60Hz.
The library power requirements may require modification of the facilities
existing power capabilities by a qualified electrician. The required wall outlet
for the United States and Canada is rated at 250V 20A (see figure 4).
Figure 4 Wall Outlet
Two dedicated wall outlets and a 20 amp circuit breaker are required to
provide power to the PX720 library. Outside North America, replace the
supplied power cord with a harmonized 3 x 1.5 mm2power cord that is
approved by the country where used, and install the appropriate wall outlet.
More information on the electrical requirements is provided in the Quantum
PX720 Pre-Installation Site Survey Instructions.
Caution: The PX720 library must be connected to a grounded electrical
outlet.

6 Preparing for the Installation
Environmental
Conditions 0The installation site must have the following environmental conditions:
• Humidity: 20%-80% non-condensing
• Temperature: 15°C-32°C (59°F-90°F)
• Altitude: sea level to 3048 meters (10,000 feet)
These environmental conditions apply when the library is in operation.
Preparing for the Installation 0
Before you begin the installation procedure in this section, make the following
preparations as described in these sections:
• Providing necessary tools and equipment for installation
• Taking ESD precautions
Providing Necessary
Tools and Equipment0Provide the following tools for unpacking the library:
• #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver
• Snips for metal bands
• Safety goggles
• 3/8 open-ended wrench or socket
• 3/4 inch open-end wrench (included in accessory kit)
• 3/16 in. Allen® wrench
• 7/16 inch wrench or socket
Provide the following tools for leveling the library:
• Carpenter’s level
Taking ESD
Precautions 0Some components within the PX720 library contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always
observe the following precautions:
• Keep the library turned off during all installation procedures.
• Keep the library power cord plugged into a grounded power outlet
except when working with AC electrical components.
Note: For additional library specifications (including environmental
requirements during shipping and storage), see appendix A in the
Quantum PX720 Series User’s Guide.

Unpacking the Library 7
• 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 protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.
• Avoid touching connectors and other components.
Unpacking the Library 0
This section explains how to unpack the library and move it to its final
installation location. The PX720 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 following are the major steps in this procedure:
•Receiving the Library
•Unboxing the Library
•Positioning the Library
•Unpacking the Library
•Leveling the Library
Receiving the Library0Unpack 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.
Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower
relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.
Warning: The Quantum PX720 with 20 tape drives weighs 1350 pounds
(612 kg). Two people are required to move and install the
library.

8 Unpacking the Library
Unboxing the Library 0To unbox the library:
1Check the packing list and verify that all components have been received.
2Choose the unloading side. The PX720 may be unloaded from only the
right side of the pallet.
3Verify the minimum floor space requirements (see figure 5).

Space Requirements—
Uncrating Site
4Cut the two steel bands that secure the library and packing material to the
pallet (see figure 6).
Note: If any part is missing or damaged (look for scuffs on the
antistatic bag), contact your authorized reseller.
Note: Uncrating the library requires a minimum of 3 feet (91 cm) on
all sides. For the side being used for the ramp, uncrating the
library requires an additional 7 feet (2.13 m) for a total of 10
feet (3.05 m) on that side. Figure 5 shows the minimum floor
space required by the PX720 at its uncrating site. The
minimum height required for unpacking the PX720 is 85
inches (2.16 meters). The crate occupies a footprint of 48 x 56
in. (122 x 142 cm).
Warning: The steel bands are under tension and will snap away when
cut. Wear safety goggles when cutting the steel bands.
