The library can be installed on a solid or a raised floor. The library has a
standard 19-inch rack footprint and can be placed in a standard server
rack space. Access is from doors located at the front and back so the
library can be placed with either side against a wall, or between racks.
You can tell which generation robot you have via the library user
interface. The library displays which generation of robot hardware is
installed. Select Monitor > System from the menu, click the Robot tab,
and look in the Generation column (see
Figure 1).
Additionally, the main screen of the library user interface displays how
many robots are installed (see
Figure 16 on page 37). If you do not see
this information displayed when viewing the physical library, you have a
Gen 1 robot.
