Floor clearance
The 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
The floor at the installation site must be rated at 250 lb/ft
2
(1221 kg/m
2
). This is sufficient to support
a fully loaded library.
The floor must be level to within 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) over a 6 ft by 6 ft (1.83 m by 1.83 m) area.
Ventilation
Do not place the library directly over any cooling vents. Placing the library over cooling vents will
result in an “out of temp” reporting in the library log.
