Installation Site Requirements
Installation Planning 2-5
■ Environmental Requirements
Physical Space
Ensure there is adequate space in elevators, passageways, and the construction area. If
modules will be added in the future, ensure there is enough space to expand the
library (see "Dimensions and Weights" on page 2-1).
Floor
Ensure that the weight and coplanar requirements are satisfied (see "Floor
Requirements" on page 2-5").
Transportation
If the equipment must be transported on elevators, the elevator cars must be capable
of safely handling the weight. Additionally, ensure that the components can pass
through doorways and fit in elevators. For more information, see "Shipping Weights
and Dimensions" on page 2-3 and "Transporting the Library" on page 2-14.
Construction Area
The minimum working area (not including the space required for the pallets) is
approximately 56 m
2
(600 ft
2
).
Waste Disposal
Sales and service personnel should plan with customers on the disposal of all packing
material. Determine if waste bins or recycling containers will be provided on site, or
whether an independent company will handle the disposal at additional cost.
Floor Requirements
A raised floor is not required if the site meets all environmental requirements and has
adequate airflow (see "Environmental Requirements" on page 2-7).
Weight and Load Distribution
Ensure all elevators transporting the library can safely handle the weight (see
"Shipping Weights and Dimensions" on page 2-3).
Ensure the site floor can support the weight of the library (see Table 2–1, " Library
Weights and Measures"). The floor must be capable of supporting 454 kg (1,000 lb) per
weight distribution pad, which measure 4 by 8 inches. There are four distribution pads
per module, except for the DEM which has six pads.
The 454 kg (1,000 lb) weight represents the modules, plus a factor of safety to
accommodate for torque values, installation procedures, component variances, and the
floor construction. When adjusting the weight pads during installation, the load
distribution may not be evenly spread to each pad—one or more of these pads may be
subject to higher loads that near the 454 kg (1,000 lb) value.
