Introduction 3

Introduction 0

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.
