Details on positioning the library include:
• Make sure a power source (only of the type marked on the product
label) is available. See
Library Specifications for power requirements.
• Route any cables to avoid walking on them or pinching them with
items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to the cord
at the wall receptacle and the point where the cord exits from the
library.
• Make sure that objects will not fall and liquids will not spill into the
library’s chassis through openings.
