Height and length of the frames of the library
This section provides the height of TS4500 tape library frames to help plan for
shipment and installation.
Each frame of the TS4500 tape library has a set of casters and four leveling
jackscrews. The casters and leveling jackscrews that attach to the TS4500 tape
library affect its height.
• The nominal height from the bottom of the jackscrews to the top of the frame is
1840 mm (72.4 in). This height can vary by plus or minus 40 mm (1.6 in).
• The shipping height of the library (on its casters and with jackscrews raised and
not including the pallet) is 1800 mm (70.9 in).
• The height of a frame with a top rack is 2320 mm (91.34 in).
The physical specifications by frame model provide detailed information about the
height and weight of frames in various configurations. Use this information when
planning for TS4500 tape library in your data storage environment.
