INSTALLATION AND
DE-INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Adequate clearances must be provided around the LF 8600 during installation to prevent crimping and
bending of cables and to ensure that future servicing can be performed safely. These clearances are also
required to properly ventilate the LF 8600 and to provide operator access to the DOC and to the media
access door for loading and unloading media.
CAUTION
When the LF 8600 is mounted in an equipment rack or cabinet,
ensure that the internal temperature within the rack or cabinet does
not exceed the operating limits as stated in the Product Specification
and this document. When vertically stacked, these units require
special attention at the top area where higher temperatures exist.
The LF 8600 must be connected to a power distribution system that
has a direct connection to earth ground (Terminated Terra [ TT ]
network/ground connected). This unit is not suitable for use on a
floating ground (Interrupted Terra [ IT ] network).
Ensure the drive is connected to a power distribution system with
adequate current-handling capacity.
The following table lists the clearances required to provide proper cooling air circulation, adequate access
for cartridge loading and unloading, and full rack extension.
