Introduction 0
The ATL ATL P4000 is an automated storage and retrieval library
consisting of up to 10 tape drives and up to 322 tape cartridges (see
figure 1).
This document explains how to unpack the ATL P4000. Once the
library is unpacked and moved to the desired installation location, set
up the library using the instructions in the ATL P4000 and ATL P7000
User’s Guide (PN 6434003).

4 Selecting an Installation Location
Selecting an Installation Location 0
When choosing an installation site for the ATL P4000, consider the
following requirements:
• Floor space
• Floor clearance
• Floor strength and inclination
• Power and grounding
• Environmental conditions
These requirements are also described in the ATL P4000 and ATL P7000
User’s Guide (PN 6434003).
Floor Space 0Figure 2 shows the minimum floor space required by the ATL P4000.

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 0
The floor at the installation site must be rated at 250 lb/ft2
(1221 kg/m2). This is sufficient to support a fully loaded ATL P4000
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.
Power and Grounding 0For the United States and Canada, one or two UL/CSA certified power
cords are furnished. Each uses a 14/3 SJT cord, a 5-20P plug, and an
IEC-C320 C19 female connector (see figure 3).
Figure 3 Power Supply
Cord
The library is rated 100-240V~, 50-60Hz, 12A-8A, 1200W.
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 125V
20A (see figure 4).
Figure 4 Wall Outlet
The dedicated wall outlet and a 20 amp circuit breaker must provide
power to the ATL P4000 library only. 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 ATL P4000 Pre-Installation Site Survey
Instructions.
Caution: The ATL P4000 library must be connected to a grounded
electrical outlet.

6 Preparing for the Installation
Environmental
Conditions 0
The 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 10,000 feet
• Air: free of airborne contaminates; e.g., dust, paper particles
These environmental conditions apply when the library is in
operation.
Preparing for the Installation 0
Before you begin the installation procedure, make the following
preparations:
• Providing necessary tools and equipment for installation
• Taking ESD precautions
Providing Necessary
Tools and Equipment 0
Provide the following tools for unpacking the library:
•Scissors
• Ratchet with 15/16 inch socket (or 15/16 inch open-end wrench)
Provide the following tools for removing the shipping restraints:
• #2 Phillips® screwdriver
•Tiewrap
Provide the following tools for leveling the library:
• 3/4-inch open-end wrench
• Carpenter’s level
Taking ESD
Precautions 0
Some components within the ATL P4000 library contain static-
sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing
installation procedures, always observe the following precautions:
Note: For additional library specifications (including
environmental requirements during shipping and storage),
see appendix A in the ATL P4000 and ATL P7000 User’s Guide
(PN 6434003).

Unpacking the Library 7
• 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.
• 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 ATL P4000 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
Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have
lower relative humidity and are more likely to produce static
electricity.

8 Unpacking the Library
Receiving the Library 0Unpack 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.
Unboxing the Library 0To unbox the library:
1Choose the unloading side. The ATL P4000 may be unloaded from
either the right or left side of the pallet.
2Verify the minimum floor space requirements.
Caution: The ATL P4000 weighs approximately 1072 pounds
(486 kg), without drives. Each drive weighs
approximately 13.5 lbs. It is strongly advised to use at
least two people to move and install the library.
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 9 feet (2.74 m). Figure 5 shows the
minimum floor space required by the ATL P4000 at its
uncrating site. The minimum height required for unpacking
the ATL P4000 is 85 inches (2.16 meters).
